& London: William Pollard & Co. Ltd., 1915. 143 pages.
The information contained in this collection dates back to the creation of the parishes of S. Marie and S. Luke. Some of the entries for S. Werburgh
were taken from a volume preserved in the library of Trinity College, Dublin. Marriages for S. Catherine prior to 1715 have not been included in
this CD, but are found in Volume 5 of the publications of the Parish Register Society of Dublin. There is a gap in the records for S. Catherine from
1788-1792, but these have been restored from the entries in the Returns to Visitation. Some of the records for S. Marie towards the end of the
record are taken from the Mariage License Grant Books, rather than the registers which have disappeared.
S. Marie was separated from S. Michan in November of 1697. The parish of S. Luke began in 1716. S. Werburgh apparently began in 1704. In
this compact disc, only S. Marie has been extracted. 49 pages.
