>For example, click on Co Limerick and then do a search for >Birth Records >HANNIGAN, Catherine, 1845 +/- 4 years and it brings back >6 records - 3 of which are in County Cork!!!!! >So what's up with that?? That is because bits of registration districts and church parishes occasionally cross county lines.? For instance the Limerick Registration district will pull in bits of Co. Clare, the Mitchellstown registration district (in Co. Cork) will pull in bits of Co. Limerick, the Clonmel district in Co. Tipp pulls in bits of Co. Waterford and so on.? For instance, that Abington parish in Limerick will pull in people I know to have lived in Co. Tipperary, since the parish crossed the county borders.? Check to see which parish Catherine was from and it's possible it was a church parish that covered bits of both Limerick and Cork. Cindy
