Fermoy Castlehyde Cemetery

CorkFermoy (Cork)

Hi, I am looking for any information I can get concerning the Baylor family from the Fermoy area during the 1700 to 1800’s.  Specifically that of Peter Baylor (1768 -1838) who was involved with the Woodside Nursery near Corrin Hill.  My 2nd great grandfather, William Baylor who died in Limerick (1855) was a son of Peter.  I am particularly interested in any records form the Castlehyde Cemetery. I have found some burial records from Castlehyde and I believe that there are much more that would be helpful in tracing the Baylor family.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Glenn,

I am involved in a project on Castlehyde and have transcribed all the headstones, and I also have a few records from the late 1700s early 1800s. I am currently away and will check the data when I get home. I do know that there are lots of Baylor families remembered in the cemetery, and there are lots of Baylors in Fermoy. I will get back to you next week.

Best wishes, Kieran

There is more on this that is difficult to read.        

 

The only records from this time period re the headstone transcriptions. These are the Baylor transcriptions; I do have all others in Castlehyde.

 

There are some written records from the 1700s and a few from the early 1800s.

Thank you very much for the information you provided on the Castlehyde Cemetery and Baylor history.  I have spent several years gathering research on the Baylor family (Fermoy area) from America using the internet   As anyone would eventually find out that this is a limited approach.  Your information has added so much, and your help is greatly appreciated.  

 

I am interested in exploring how one might research Church Records at the National Archives of Ireland (NAI).   I will have to hire one to do the research and am looking for guidance as to reliable and available services.

 

I am also interested in contributing to the Castlehyde Cemetery Restoration Group. (I looked it up on the internet).  Please advise as to how this is done.  I am also interested in updates on how the Project is going.

 

Also do you have suggestions on how to contact any Baylor’s that would know of the family history. I know I’m related but am cautious and wary about me cold calling people I don’t know.  

 

Again, I sincerely appreciate all the help.

gmckenna423@gm…

Glenn,

I will get your email address from IrelandXO administration and will send you some information about the project at Castlehyde. If it is OK with you, I will add you to our email list and you will receive updates.

I will ask about any Baylor family members that are interested in family history and will get back to you on that.

As for the church records at the NLI, they can be searched online at the subscription site rootsireland.ie. The subscription is €30 per month ad you can register for 1 month. In that month, you can do as many searches as you like and print up to 2000 records. I don't get commission from the site, but it is well worth €30! The Baylor family are unusual in that the members are both RC and CofI. On the site you can just do a search of North Cork for Baylor. Don't put in any other information. You will get about 60 hits and the vast majority, if not all, are for Fermoy. This covers all religions. If you put in any other information you will be limiting your search. You will get a few hits if you do a search for Limerick.  To do these searches you will see a tab towards the top 'search by county'. The births will be from 1787 to 1923. If you do the same for marriage records, you will get about 20 hits, if you only put in Baylor. The years for the marriages are 1786 to 1943. There are 2 marriage records for Limerick.

Let me know if you need any further assistance in searching.

Best wishes, Kieran
