The Irish Room is located in historic Thomas Williams House, a 12-room Victorian Museum built by Thomas Williams, Treasurer of the Inter-colonial Railway in 1893. It is an appropriate location as many of the workers for the railway were Irish New Brunswickers.

It includes the births, marriages and deaths for all of the Catholic parishes in Westmorland, Albert and Kent counties for all Irish Catholics and those Irish who are married into Acadian families. This is a secondary source but is fully referenced from the original source parish registers and a valuable tool for family genealogists.
