The 11th volume in the Representative Church Body Library's series of parish registers has been published.
The Register of the Cathedral of St Patrick, Dublin, 1677-1869, edited by JH Bernard and Raymond Refaussé, is a reprint of Bernard's 1907 edition of the register which included details of baptisms, marriages and burials for the years 1677 to 1800, to which has been added the entries for 1801 to 1869 which have not been previously been published.
The 1907 edition was the second volume in a series begun by the Dublin Parish Register Society which intended to publish the oldest surviving Dublin registers. This edition has been long out of print, and so a reprint is timely.
The addition of the 19th century materials increases the usefulness of the volume for historians and genealogists. The register may be obtained direct from the RCB Library (library@ireland.anglican.org) or from the St Patrick's Cathedral shop.
