Linda The RC Church in Baltimore City kept excellent records and, I believe, they are all held at the State Archives in Annapolis as well as Diocesan Headquarters. As a shortcut, you may wish to specifically check out St. James near N. Charles Street, which FORMALLY became an Irish Parish in 1848. However, the Irish were moving rapidly into this area much earlier.
