The Magdalene Name Project

Justice for Magdalenes has compiled lists of women's names who died in the Magdalene Laundry at High Park Convent, Dublin and a gravesite located at St. Finbarr's cemetery, Cork (we will be adding additional gravesite names soon).

We have also compiled 1911 census data for some of the laundries; although, please note that in many cases only initials were supplied for the census (further reinforcing the societal notion that these women were not even "worthy" of a full name for the census). Names (where provided) are alphabetised left to right. Visit the links below for each gravesite or relevant 1911 census data. If you recognize a name as that of a family member of lost loved one, please click on the name or e-mail us about a name to advise us.

If you think you may have lost a loved one to a Magdalene Laundry elsewhere in Ireland, please e-mail us and let us now the name, age (approximate), and Laundry where the individual was incarcerated.
