Hi Cathy:
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 Mary McCauley B 1831 +/- 1 yr somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 16 rcds: 1830 Tipperary, 1830 Mayo, 1830 Antrim, 1830 Armagh, 1831 Mayo, 1831 Sligo, 1831 Westmeath, 1831 Meath, 1831 Cork, 1831 Dublin, 2-1832 Meath, 1832 Mayo, 1832 Westmeath, and 2-1832 Antrim. Father's forenames were James*, Thomas, Larence, John, Thomas, Thomas, Patrick, "Nr", John, John, Patrick, Patrick, Patrick, Thomas, John, and John respectively. You will need an exact DOB, parent(s) name(s), and or placename to pick which, if any, rcd is for your ancestor.
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.
