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 parish, 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 Charles McKenna B 1828 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with his father's forename unknown, I found 4 B rcds: 1824 Antrim, 1825 Armagh, 1827 Armagh, and 1827 Tyrone.
For Mary Mulhern B ditto, I found 14 B rcds: 1824 ROS, 1826 Westmeath, 1827 GAL, 2-1827 ROS, 2-1828 ROS, 2-1828 MTH, 1831 LEI, 1831 KLD, 1832 GAL, 1832 LNG, 1832 ROS.
Google the Foundation's name to lead you to this database. Pls post your search results to my genforum msg.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
