Well Peter, it is the place to be if you are researching CHurch of Ireland records, but the general rule of thumb is you have to do the work yourself. But that does not mean an email to them would be ignored, sometimes now they do, do the odd lookup. You know I must say this, burial records are not in the beginning for RC churches really kept up to date, and as the Church of Ireland was the church of the time, especailly in the time frame most of us are trying to get back to, that sometimes it is a good idea to take a look at Church of Ireland records, as they do sometimes hold all denominations in burials. RCB, has more than parish registers, there are any amout of documents to peruse in your family search, I remember the first time I was shown the beautiful music (original) for Handels Messiah, among one of the many things I have gotten delight out of at the RCB. They do not hold all, registers to all churches of Ireland, and of course that infernal fire of 1922 did get some of the registers. But a google search will produce the site and they have details there for you to follow.

Afternoon Cara and all who replied to my question.. Thank you very much for all the information. Cara I know this is the wrong list for this question {Big GRIN] I will send a copy to the Wexford list Your comment about the Catholic church burials not been well kept in the early days and it might be possible that the details might be with the Church of Ireland records. It is possible that my EDMOND [Edward] WALSH and his wife CATHERINE WALSH [nee COUSINS, who should have used St Mary's KILMORE Wexford and {I think] died about or before 1876 would be in the local C of I records? [Yes I am still looking for them} Again Thanks for you help Regards Peter P.
