Hello Gale:
I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,800,000 surviving rcds for abt 70% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800. Cos. Donegal and Derry were recently added to the database.
Note 1 - Without a KNOWN county, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 30%.
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 Dan(iel) Halloran B 1835 +/- 4 yrs, somewhere in Ireland, with the father's forename unknown, I found 6 rcds: 1833 Tipperary, 1833 Limerick, 1837 Clare, 1837 Cork, 1838 Limerick, and 1839 Tipperary. Father's respective forenames were Martin, Thomas, Pat, John, James, and Daniel.
For Mary Treacy B 1850 +/- 4 yrs, ditto, I found 84 rcds - way too many to easily summarize here. Two had a father forenamed Laurence.
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.
