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 Pat(rick) Hogan M 1849 +/- 4 yrs in Co. Cork with a father's forename unknown, I found 2 M rcds, both in 1849.
For Julia Brady M ditto, I found 0 M rcds. This infers I am using the wrong search range, the rcd's didn't survive, or they married elsewhere: perhaps the U.S. Looks like you need to troll the U.S. censuses for the relevant decades.
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.
