Having ancestry in Tipperary (CAREY) according to UK census data, I tried the Tipperary Heritage Centres without success. I now think it possible that I should be looking in Clonmel. As I understand it, Clonmel is in Tipperary county but is in the diocese of Waterford. Perhaps someone can confirm, or otherwise? I have made a number of attempts to contact the Waterford Heritage Centre http://www.iol.ie/~mnoc/index.html but they neither reply nor confirm receipt of email. Does anyone know if they are no longer operating, or of any alternative to get commissioned research done for Clonmel?
