I have occasionally posted questions to this list hoping to find any information about my Barber family, specifically John Barber who was born in Tipperary in 1782 but came to Canada in 1837. John had at least two marriages (1) Ellen Minahan and (2) Mary Rivington. John Barber and Mary Rivington's first three children - Richard (b. 1831), Eliza (1832) and Catherine (b. 1834) were all born in Tipperary. Ancestry's Irish Records Extraction Database shows that Eliza was born in Cloughjordan, baptized in Modreenyand that Catherine was born in Burnwood and baptized in Modreeny. >From a previous marriage, John's daughter Jane was baptised in Modreeny Parish in 1802 and she married John Robert Stanley also in Modreeny. Because I haven't had any response so far regarding the Barber family, could I try another approach. How and where can I find the Parish records for Modreeny? A recent posting suggests that a visit to Ireland is a good choice to further your research. However even if this were possible, it still leaves me wondering where these records are kept and how to access them. Thanks for any help, Elizabeth

Elizabeth I'm assuming you are talking about Church of Ireland parish records. The records for Cloughjordan are on microfilm in the National Archives Dublin and it seems the originals are in the Representative Church Body Library in Churchtown Dublin See these listings http://www.nationalarchives.ie/PDF/CofIMicrofilms.pdf http://www.ireland.anglican.org/cmsfiles/pdf/AboutUs/library/parregs.pdf It seems the Modreeny records only start in the 1870's. You will see information about the RCB library here. http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 Hope this is of help.
