I have been searching the Catholic Church records of Avoca / Newbridge / Redcross in County Wicklow, in particular for the family name of Moore. I found a reference to the church my ancestors where baptised / married, in the records as being Barranisky. Could you please provide me with some understanding of which District, Union, Townland etc., the Barrinisky Church / Avoca Parish would pertain?
Thanks, Mark.

Hi Mark
Providing a link to the church parish website, might help you in your search
I am Wicklow based but not in that parish. I can look into it more.

Some Griffiths valuation links to Moore in that area.. These were taken circa 1851..good record of families in an area

Some more interesting Barranisky parish stories from the schools collection many years ago. Folklore and stories from the parish, always a great read!
