Hello Edmund:
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 Edmund Hayes M 1862 (exact) somewhere in Ireland, I found 1 rcd, Co. Limerick, Ardpatrick RC parish.
For Mary O'Neill M ditto, I found 0 rcds. This infers the rcd for Edmund is a false positive.
For Edmund Hayes B 1839-1844 somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 15 rcds - too many to summarize here. You will need an exact DOB, parent(s) name(s), and/or placename(s) to pick which, if any, is the right one. Suggest you get some of this info from the Bureau of Vital Statistics, or similarly named agency, for Illinois for such info.
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.
