Jan, 4 Baptism Records from Co Limerick that I purchased had a standardized form with the following fields: Name, Address, Gender, Date of Baptism/Birth Parish/District, County, Denomination, Mother, Mother's Occupation, Father, Father's Occupation Sponsor/Informant 1, Sponsor/Informant 2, NOTES Not all the info is filled in--none of the 4 I purchased had either address or occupation of parents nor any notes. Regarding burial records/cemeteries in Croom area I **think** that there are 4 of them: Religh Mhuire (a modern cemetery started mid 1960s) Banogue Cemetery (opened 1955; across the road from church; pre 1955 local people were buried in cemeteries in either the parishes of Croom or Ballingarry/Granagh) Church of Ireland cemetery on Church Rd in Croom (has both Cath. & Prot. burials) Anhid Cemetery (Ballingarry Road in Croom close to the main Cork-Limerick Road) References: http://www.limerickdioceseheritage.org/Croom.htm http://www.limerickdioceseheritage.org/Banogue.htm http://www.croomabu.ie/exponent/index.php?section=1 (pics of churches in Croom) http://www.ballyhouracountry.com/bhtowns.asp?town=Croom&bhl1=Tourism Searched but couldn't find any online transcripts for any of these cemeteries; here in the states there is a lot of cemetery transcriptions being done (local folks go and snap digital photos and upload them to various sites) but there does not appear to be a whole lot of that sort of thing going on in Ireland. Sure wish more folks who made reseach trips to Ireland would "document" local cemeteries w/ their digital cameras and post the results!

Could SKS tell me what info is contained on baptism and burial records? I'm reluctant to get a credit card only to find the info is not worth purchasing from the IFHS, or if it is available elsewhere. I was also wondering if the burial records for Croom have been transcribed? Regards Jan Qld Australia

The standardized form covers both baptism and civil birth registration.The info on a baptism record does not generally include address or occupation,so that this is usually blank.Civil cert does.The Church of Ireland authorities who controlled many of the old rural cemeteries in the 19th century have some records for burials of members of that Church.The Catholic majority of burials in such cemeteries were not recorded.The only full record,that I know of relates to the Mount St Lawrence cemetery in the city.This was controlled by city council rather than Churches,and there is a record of all burials from the 1850's. ----- Original Message ----- From: <littlehouseantiques@att.net> To: <irl-limerick@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, March 21, 2008 2:11 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-LIMERICK] IFHS info? > Jan, > > 4 Baptism Records from Co Limerick that I purchased > had a standardized form with the following fields: > > Name, Address, Gender, Date of Baptism/Birth > Parish/District, County, Denomination, Mother, > Mother's Occupation, Father, Father's Occupation > Sponsor/Informant 1, Sponsor/Informant 2, NOTES > > Not all the info is filled in--none of the 4 I > purchased had either address or occupation of > parents nor any notes. > > Regarding burial records/cemeteries in Croom > area I **think** that there are 4 of them: > > Religh Mhuire (a modern cemetery started mid 1960s) > > Banogue Cemetery (opened 1955; across the road from church; pre 1955 local > people were buried in cemeteries in either the parishes of Croom or > Ballingarry/Granagh) > > Church of Ireland cemetery on Church Rd in Croom (has both Cath. & Prot. > burials) > > Anhid Cemetery (Ballingarry Road in Croom close to the main Cork-Limerick > Road) > > References: > http://www.limerickdioceseheritage.org/Croom.htm > http://www.limerickdioceseheritage.org/Banogue.htm > http://www.croomabu.ie/exponent/index.php?section=1 (pics of churches in > Croom) > http://www.ballyhouracountry.com/bhtowns.asp?town=Croom&bhl1=Tourism > > Searched but couldn't find any online transcripts for any of these > cemeteries; here in the states there is a lot of cemetery transcriptions > being done (local folks go and snap digital photos and upload them to > various sites) but there does not appear to be a whole lot of that sort of > thing going on in Ireland.
