Society of Friends (Quaker Community)

The Society of Friends or Quaker communities maintained excellent records of births, marriages and deaths, also obituaries, transfers etc. A full account is given in ‘Irish Church Records’ (Flyleaf Press, Dublin, 2001). Most of the records of the Dublin community or meeting, are maintained at the Friends Historical Library, in Dublin (see p.153). All records are available for research at this facility. The major records are:

Jewish Records

The first Jewish immigrants into Ireland arrived from Portugal in the late 17th century. Since then several other groups of Jewish immigrants have arrived from different places. Birth and death records prior to 1870 are held in the Irish Jewish Museum at 3/4 Walworth Road, South Circular Road, Dublin 8. There are two useful accounts the Jewish congregation available: (a) Louis Hyman, A History of the Jews in Ireland (London/Jerusalem 1972) which includes births from 1820 - 1879, deaths from 1842-1879 and Ballybough Cemetery Inscriptions.
