Extracted from numerous LDS FHL films of Civil Registration of Marriages in Ireland and IrishGenealogy.ie where original copies of the certificates may be downloaded at no cost

The condition of the original records and the quality of filming make transcription challenging and at times difficult. Where possible, the Inch tithe applotment book (1837) and Griffiths Valuation (c1858) have been consulted for confirmation of families and townland addresses.

Originally one of five chapels within Templemore parish, it was changed to a Perpetual Curacy in 1809. The church was built in 1766. Always a small congregation, the church was closed in 1962

 

Surviving records of Inch Parish Church: Baptisms, 1868-1951 marriages, 1846­1946 burials, 1868-1965 have been microfilmed by the staff of the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI), Belfast, where they may be consulted
