Information on St Mary's RC Church, Athlunkard St related to Mahoney and Piggott/Pickett families
Is there any place to look for deaths/burials for St Mary’s RC Church, Athlunkard St, Limerick City? Does this church have a cemetery?
My ancestors Patrick Mahoney and Mary Piggott/Pickett were married Jan 30, 1829, at St Mary’s. Limerick City, Co Limerick. They had several children baptised there before moving to Mechanicsville, NY, then Howe Island, Ontario, Canada.
It seems as if their respective families lived in the area.
Both their parents were also married either at St Mary’s (John Piggott and Bridget Connell, Nov 22, 1809) or nearby St Michael’s (Thomas Mahoney and Margt Folowe, Jun 16, 1791). And siblings baptised there.
The above is all from Roots Ireland, but I have not found deaths for any of the parents.
I also know about the only remaining element of the eighteenth-century church - the holy water font.
PS. I appreciate what your volunteers are doing. Your colleague, Helen Fox, has found great information for me in another County.
With thanks, Maureen
