St. Michael's Parish
Limerick City
This page contains Marriage, Baptismal and Death Records from both the Roman Catholic Parish and the Church of Ireland Parish. There are also records from Civil Registrations donated by various researchers.
The Roman Catholic records were extracted by Kathryn McCarthy from printouts of the Original Registers at St. Michael's Roman Catholic Parish Church, Limerick City. There were no Sponsors on the printout.
I have transcribed as I found them and endeavoured to do so accurately. However, they are to be used only as a guide. Please verify at source yourself.

Records from St. Michael's Church of Ireland Register have been donated by Sheila Thoman who is researching O'Gorman from Annacotty, Cloheseys and Toomeys from Fedamore and Kilmallock and Holmes. She extracted it from LDS Film # 0897422

"The preface to a Church of Ireland Index to the Marriages in Co. Limerick provides background information with possible relevance to the Holmes-O'Gorman marriage. Generally speaking, only the very poor were married by banns. Marriages between a Protestant and a Catholic had, by law, to be celebrated in a Protestant Church. Both the Church of Ireland registers and the Civil Registry before 1864 list very few Gormans and only one O'Gorman (Mary), while there are several Holmes marriages listed. In 1864, the year when the Civil Registry first included Catholic marriages, the number of Gormans greatly outnumbers the Holmes listings. Parker is a name commonly found in St. Michael's Registers from 1814 through 1844." - Sheila Thoman
