Hi Alison:
You should have listed the names of the four children B in Ireland, and their DOB. This would have made my search more conclusive.
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).
Note 4 - Microfilms of parish church rcds are kept by the National Library of Ireland.
For Br(idget) Hogarty B ????, Allen RC parish, Co. Kildare, with the father's forename unknown, I found 1 rcd in 1823. Father's forename was John.
For Br(idget) Hogarty M 1844 +/- 4 yrs, Co. Kildare, I found 0 rcds within a relevant range. Broadening the search to all Ireland, I found 5 rcds: 1840 Mayo, 1842 Cork, 1845 Louth, 1845 Leitrim, and 1848 Mayo. The Louth location is the most probable. Note, there is a M rcd for a John Cavanagh in 1845, Co. Louth.
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.
