Hi All,
I am trying to get information about Fr david Nagle who was Parish Priest in Effin during the Great Famine.
I believe he died in 1847 andis buried under the alter in Effin Church.
I would like to know where he came from ,his age at death andn any information about his family.
I believe he is related to my great grandmother,possibly a brother or uncle.
I would really appreciate any help.

Hello Jim re your post I would suggest you take a look at www.rootsireland.ie which should have Baptism records for Limerick area. You will not be able to source Civil records as in Ireland these came in from 1864.
Do you have any other information i.e Parents names?
Regards Frances
Thank you Frances !
I believe Fr Nagle came from the Charleville area and that his family may originally have come from Listowel.
It has been suggested that he was the brother of John, Catherine( Rooney) and Hannah (Cosgrove) but I think thats not correct given that Fr Nagle died in 1847.
I think its more likely they were Fr Nagle's nieces and nephew.
Catherine Rooney was my greatgrandmother and her birth registration(1864) cites a David Nagle as one of her sponsors !
Many thanks again!

Hi Jim, There is material on line re Fr Nagle priest in Effin. during the Famine.
It says he was from Morroe Co Limerick.
Will do more research on this if you would like me to.
Kindest regards.

Hi Jim If the material on him on line is correct , and he is from Parish of Morroe. Morroe is in the diocese of Cashel and Emly, records for this diocese are not on line. They can be accessed at Tipperary Family history research, email research@tfhr.org. Records for Morroe started in 1814. a small fee is charged.
If it is the correct person he would have studied for the priesthood probably in St Patricks College Thurles founded in 1829.
Hope this will help.

Many Thanks Christina!
I will try that route !
Regards and Thanks

Hi Jim,
Just came across your post. Two of my 4 x great uncles were baptised at St. Munchin’s, Limerick City in 1827 & 1830 by Fr. David Nagle. Hope this might help you in your search for details about him.
