Clonturk, better known today as Drumcondra, was a north Dublin parish. St Michans and St Marys are a long way away, being much nearer the city centre. If Catholic, then the parish would be Clontarf according to Lewis Top' Index. There are no Anglican records for Clonturk-Drumcondra parish as they perished in the 1922 PRO fire. There were none for the period you require or anywhere near that time anyway as they started circa 1810.

Clonturk is/was a community north of the River Liffey, in Vicinity of where St. Micahn's and St. Mary's Churches are located. Looks to be about 3 blocks or so north of the river in vicinity of Church Street. I feel sure the area was larger than this back then. I have two questions and I am looking for opinions or answers as I NEED HELP. 1) Why would he be listed as born in Clonturk when there were churches in the area. This is what the LDS IGI file says and it says no more. 2. Does anyone have a microfilm number for ST. Mary's births in the 1730 time frame. I know that St. Mary's and St. Michan's were in existence back then as I found them on a 1610 map of Dublin. I already have the film number for St.Michan's but not for ST. Mary's. I have tried to send the LDS folks a message asking them for help. I am wondering why he was listed as being born this way or in this place while most show a church with birth date or chr. date. Thanks in advance for your help, opinions and/or suggestions.
