To ALL: According to the 1854 printing of Griffith's Valuations, my James KEEGAN was in St. Mary's Parish, City of Dublin, Poor Law Union: Dublin North. James Keegan had a brother named Lawrence (Laurence) KEEGAN and both are found on Moore Street in Dublin City in the above Griffith's. The family was Roman Catholic. Contact with the Pro Cathedral in Dublin produced no results; no records found. So - Does anyone have any suggestions as to which Catholic Church the family may have attended in the 1845 to 1855 time frame? How or who would I write to find a birth or baptism in Dublin City circa 1843 to 1848? All help appreciated. Dennis Murphy

While the Pro-Cathedral is geographically close to Moore Street as it was the far side of (then) Sackville Street (now) O'Connell St it could easily be that St Paul's Arran Quay was an equally likely church to have been Baptised in Dublin - then as now - tended to be divided on an north / south axis Regards Anthony
