Hi Sandra:
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 Jud(y) Scully M 1840 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 3 rcds: 1837 Kilkenny, 1839 Kildare, and 1842 Kilkenny.
For Pat Conrahy M ditto, I found 0 matching M rcds at the parish level to those for Judy.
For James Conroy/Conrahy B 1842 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with a father forenamed Pat(rick), I found 2 rcds (1839 Mayo, 1840 Galway) for the former, and 0 rcds for the latter.
For Pat(rick) Conrahy B 1786, the closest rcd to this date was in 1781, Co. Kildare.
None of the above is very conclusive. It MAY be that their rcds haven't been transcribed yet. Suggest you wait until the database is more complete.
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.
