Father David Nagle

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 Christina,

Many thanks ! Yes I would appreciate any help I can get on sourcing information on Fr Nagle.

Regards and Thanks

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.

Christina  Vol  Irelandxo.

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.
