This is a generalisation about how the Church generally worked. For the local information you want you need to enquire with local history sources. The Church of Ireland tried to have a church building in every parish. There may have been areas where they failed. Historically there are reports about the rectory /vicarage being in a ruinous state. There was only one parish church per parish. However there might be also chapels of ease which were churches which were additional to the parish church to meet some local demand, for example you could have a chapel of ease on an estate. The Church of Ireland was financed by means of a church tax on everyone no matter what they believed or where they worshipped, and the main clergyman was appointed by the patron. Here the name was important. The Vicar was appointed by someone else, the patron, the Rector was appointed directly by the Church authorities (This is a very general description). After disestablishment 1869 all parish Clergy were Rectors.
