Have you written to the church - perhaps they can give you more information......RC records for the Civil Parish of Mayne in which Coole is located go back to 1777. Ch. of Ireland records only go back to 1808.....(which is unusual because normally the Ch.of Ireland records go back earlier than the RC records.) I would check the Indexes to Griffiths Valuation for Coole.....then go into Griffiths itself. If you write to church, just address your letter to Parish Priest.....with a small donation, you probably will get a reply. Have fun... Elizabeth [email protected] >From: "James W. M.
