St Andrew's church was closed and then demolished when Route 65 (ohio River Blvd.) was broadened to cut through the Manchester community. The congregation was the major English speaking Catholic parish i Manchester and most of the parishoners were Irish. It's "daughter church" was St. Francis Xavier built further out in Allegheny City in what is now Brighton Heights. When St. Andrew's closed I think its records became part of St. Framcis. All that said, about a few years ago St. Francis Xavier was given a new name Risen Lord, whn three ethnic parishes were combined into one. So the records from Old St. Andrews might be at Risen Lord. The parish offices are on california Ave in Pgh. 15212. As to burial. St. Andrew's parish did not have a parish cemetery. In later years most of the folks were buried in the North Side Caholic Cemetery now called Christ Our Redeemer Cemetery located on Cemetery Lane in Ross Township. But in 1879 the cemetery on cemetery Lane was operated as St. Phlomen a's parish cemetery and that was a German parish. I would guess that Patrick Carr was buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Lawrenceville. That is where many Irish Catholic families were buried. I think al the cemeteries mentioned are now admiistered by the Pgh. Catholic diocese.

Almost all Catholic records from suppressed parishes have been transferred to the Archives and Record Center of the Diocese of Pittsburgh. Even the early records from active parishes are at the Archives which covers the counties of Allegheny, Butler, Beaver, Lawrence, Greene, and Washington Information on how to order records from the archives can be found on their website at: http://www.diopitt.org/archives/archives.htm There is a fee for the research. That being said, there are no death records from St. Andrew's before 1910. In 1879, the only diocesan cemetery was St. Mary's in Lawrenceville. The records are at the Catholic Cemeteries Association at 718 Hazelwood Ave, Pittsburgh 15217.
