Hi Kimberly:
I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,000,000 surviving rcds for abt 65% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800.
Note 1 - Without a KNOWN county, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 35%.
Note 2 - Only 1/2 of Co. Cork's rcds are in this database.
Note 3 - The RC church kept control over most parish rcds from Tipperary (north). These are ONLY available thru the Tipperary Family History Research center at a substantial fee (regardless of outcome).
For Peter Conroy B 1851 (exact) somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 1 rcd in Co. Galway. This father's forename was Matthew. This doesn't match your criteria. Since this is the only rcd, is it possible some of your info is wrong?
For Elizabeth White B 1853 ditto, I found 8 rcds: 2-Armagh, 2-Down, Wicklow, Kildare, Roscommon, and Kilkenny. Father's forenames were Michael, Edward, Hugh, Owen, "Nat", John, James, and Martin respectively.
For Michael Conroy M 1847 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 12 rcds: 1844 Westmeath, 1844 Mayo, 1845 Dublin, 1845 Mayo, 1845 Roscommon, 1846 Tyrone, 1847 Leitrim, 1848 Dublin, 1848 Roscommon, 1850 Mayo, 1850 Tipperary, and 1851 Roscommon.
For Maria Tiehy, there are no rcds for this surname, anywhere, at anydate. The closest phonetically is the surname Tighe.
Google the Foundation's name to lead you to this database. Register, opt to be notified as rcds are added and browse. Pls post your search results to my genforum msg.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
