Garfinny Graveyard |
The old church of Garfinny stood in the parish burial ground in the townland of Garfinny. Following the reformation this church was abandoned, and there are now no remains of it.
For Church of Ireland purposes Garfinny was united with Kinard and Kildrum in 1765, but seperated again in 1776. The vicarage was finally suspended in 1826, and the parish merged with Dingle.
In the Roman Catholic church, Garfinny was united with Dingle, Ventry, Kinard, Kildrum and Minard to form the parish of Dingle . This part of the parish is served by churches at Dingle or Lispole.
There are no Church of Ireland registers.
The Roman Catholic Registers for Dingle cover baptisms from 1825, and marriages from 1821.
The registers remain in the custody of the parish priest, although microfilm copies are at the National Archives of Ireland. Written permission from the Bishop of Kerry is required to view these records.
From 1863 Garfinny was in the Dingle Superintendant Registrar's District, and the Dingle Registrar's District. See the Registration Districts page.
The transcription of the section for this parish from the National Gazetteer (1868), provided by Colin Hinson.
