Place & story
An incomplete parish archive
The RCB Library’s catalogue records the destruction of three volumes of Garranekinnefeake parish registers in the Public Record Office fire of 1922. They contained baptisms from 1850 to 1882 and burials from 1875 to 1876. Other records appear in the surviving collection: marriage registers covering 1859–1953 and 1963–2007, together with several preachers’ books. The earliest listed preachers’ book covers 1862–1870 and includes East Ferry for 1862–1867, preserving another record of church activity alongside the gaps in personal registers. [2]
