LOCATION OF THE PARISH REGISTERS AND OTHER PARISH RECORDS16 volumes of parochial records for St. Paul's, Cork existed in 1885, including baptisms for 1759-1879, marriages for 1762-1847 and burials from 1762 to 1877. (Ireland, 1885, 195) Sadly, the parish records were destroyed during the fire at the Public Records Office of Ireland in 1922. Grove White made some baptismal extracts for 1788 plus 1766-1794 as well as some marriage extracts for 1762-1820. The Irish Genealogical Research Library in London holds these typed records, amounting to only two pages. It also holds baptisms for 1879 to 1903, marriages from 1845 to 1903 and burials from 1879-1900, again in type.The Representative Church Body LibraryThe Representative Church Body at Dublin holds some registers including baptisms for 1879-1946, marriages from 1845 to 1942 and burials from 1881 to 1882. They also hold vestry minutes from 1796 and parish account books from 1808. The Vestry minutes, according to staff at RCBL, tend to be rather bland, recording attendance and resolutions usually, but sometimes include useful information about building developments - recording decisions made about a new vestry, or internal heating and the like. (RCBL, Correspondence, December 2009) Given the paucity of records, some secondary sources were searched with the following results: Baptisms: 1911, 31 July: Charles Norman Pulvertaft, born in Cork on 24 June 1911, the youngest son of Willie and Clara Pulvertaft.
