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 Mary Ellen O'Callaghan B 1877 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with a father's forename unknown, I found 12 B rcds, 2 in Co. Cork.
For Mary O'Callaghan M 1896 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 228 M rcds: 39 in 1895 with 1 in Antrim, 24 in 1897 with 3 in Fermanagh, and 28 in 1900 with 1 in Antrim.
For William Munson M 1896 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 3 M rcds: 1895 Antrim, 1897 Fermanagh, & 1900 Antrim. Will let you screen these potential pairs at the parish level to see if they match in one parish. If so, these are likely for your ancestors.
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.
