Jane has posted another great informational piece on the Tipperary list which I am sharing with this list. Her email address is: jayohbee@iol.ie I have an 1836 Catholic Directory in which there is a section which lists the names of Parish Priests, Curates, Parish Names and nearest postal town for each Diocese as well as more. The following is a table of names from an excel file. My columns are headed Parish priest, Christian name; Curate surname, Name; Parish; post town. The Archdiocese had 47 parishes at that time. I have stayed with spellings as listed in the directory, some of the parish names are abbreviated...some may even have been changed. Dr. Michael Slattery was the Archbishop then. Some of the names listed may be of interest. I imagine that in those parishes where the PP and the curate had the same surname they were related in some way..perhaps not for the Ryans. This is the case for definite in other documents I have read re religious located in other parts of the country for whom I have seen information. In some instances there was more than one curate, for thos cases I have listed the PP twice or more and the different curates name beside each entry. In other cases there was only a PP and no Curate. Even looking at this will give some idea of the size of a parish. Hopefully this will be easy enough for everyone to read.
