Hi Patty:
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 Martin Conroy M 1861 +/- 1 yr somewhere in Ireland, I found 3 rcds: 1860 Galway, 1861 Cork, and 1861 Mayo. From the research below, the Galway and Mayo rcds appear the more likely. For the Galway rcd, the parish was Clifden. Note - Clifden is in Galway west. (This assumes they married in Ireland.)
For Martin Conroy B 1840 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 15 rcds with 11 in Galway, two of which were in 1840 (exact). The father's forename for these two were Michael and Darby. The respective parishes were Woodford and Tynagh. Both parishes are in Galway east.
For ???? Conroy B ???? ditto in Tynagh parish, I found 0 rcds. In Woodford parish, I found possible male siblings John (1842, 1843), Michael (1840, 1842), and Pat(rick) 1842 within a relevant range. This implies Martin's father's forename was Michael.
Will leave it to you to replicate my research and decide whether you want to view the detailed rcds.
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.
