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 O'Malley B 1837 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 6 B rcds: 1833, 1834, 1835, 1837, 1839, and 1841. The overall chance that one of these is for your ancestor is less than 50%.
Suggest you screen the parish registers for the oldest RC Church near Olyphant for their marriage. This M rcd will likely list their parents' names and possibly origins.
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.
