Dear Sue,

The St. Louis Public Library has City directories. You can email them your request.

http://www.slpl.lib.mo.us/libsrc/geneinfo.htm

My poor Irish lived on S. Second and attended Annunciation of the BVM. Established
1860, closed 1951. Address is 1009 S. 6th Street. Baptisms on FHL roll #1901955
for 1860-1876, Item #12. Later Baptisms on reel #1901956.

You might want to look at Dave Lossos website. Has lots of stuff for St. Louis
researchers.
