Birth of Michael Soden, a religious brother with the Roman Catholic Christian Brothers
Michael was from the diocese of Achonry. He served in Stillorgan, South County Dublin from 1863 – 66.he was then transferred to St. Mary’s in Leeds, England from 1865 – 71. He then served in Daingean, Co. Offaly from 1892 and died on 24th May, 1915 in Belcamp, Swords, North County Dublin. There is , however, no registered death in the GRO for this date, but rather a later one in 1919 for a Michael Soden. This may well be the same person as it often happened registration was not done immediately in those days.
