JUBILATE DEO (Psalm 100) O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands: serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with a song. Be ye sure the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and speak good of his Name. For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting: and his truth endureth from generation to generation.

This eventually led me to consult Canon James B Leslie’s History of the Kilsaran Union at the British Library, which contained printed extracts from the Dromiskin and Manfieldstown parish registers, shown in the recently published IFHS/NA parish register list as having been destroyed in the Four Courts fire of 1922. To correct this oversight and to bring the existence of the records to the attention of a wider audience, I decided to produce a new version of Canon Leslie’s extracts, which were printed in the form of a surname index. As with all documents of this nature the original should be consulted to confirm that entries have been transcribed and indexed accurately. The following specific points should be borne in mind when using the transcript: Dates All dates have been standardised as follows; day in numbers, month in three letters (abbreviated as necessary), year. Additional Information Marginal notes and comments from Canon Leslie’s printed extracts appear in the text in square brackets or as footnotes. The Index The index lists in alphabetical order all persons who were baptised, married and buried at Dromiskin and Manfieldstown over the periods covered by the transcript. i History of the Churches and Parishes Canon Leslie’s History of the Union of Kilsaran (1908, reprinted 1986, British Library shelf- mark: 10390 e22) is the standard work on the subject. The parish of Manfieldstown was united to the Kilsaran Union in 1873 on the death of the Rector; there being no Church of Ireland inhabitants, the church was closed and the ancient font presented to Ardee Parish Church. The parish of Dromiskin was divided in 1905 on the retirement of the Rector. The townlands of Babeswood, Dromiskin (including the church), Drumleck, Milltown Old and Newrath were united to the Kilsaran Union; the townlands of Commons, Whiterath, Milltown, Milltown-Grange, Moorestown and Walterstown were united to Heynestown. Sunday afternoon services were still being held at Dromiskin Church in 1908.
