(Non-Conformist congregations were Protestant churches that were not aligned to the Church of Ireland.)
Never before online, the new collection is made up of registers of the Presbyterian and Methodist churches in Limerick City, Kilrush in Co Clare and Killarney in Co Kerry, and include baptism and marriage records, details of church attendance, Subscribers lists (Methodist) and Communicants Rolls (Presbyterian).
These are the new record sets:
Limerick Non-Conformist baptisms, 1822–1913: These registers include some 2,000 baptism entries which detail not only the name of the child and parents, but also the occupation of the father, the date of birth and residence.
