I am grateful to Seán MacAonghusa for providing the following very useful listing. From a genealogical point of view it is interesting to see the survival of surnames in the parish from the mid-17th century to the 20th century, something that should provide great scope for genealogical research.
The earliest Roman Catholic Parish records date from 1752 for baptisms and marriages. Unfortunately the Church of Ireland records were lost, the earliest (for Haynestown) being 1865 - baptisms; 1855 - marriages; 1871 – burials, all within the range of Civil Registration. However, it is worth checking the records of the neighbouring Church of Ireland Parish of Dundalk where some of the surnames may be found.
For Memorial Inscriptions and other historical, topographical, local, photographic, and genealogical information on the parish see, Noel Sharkey, The Parish of Haggardstown & Blackrock: A History, Dundalk 2003. This is an excellent publication.
