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 Ellen Collins B 1836 (exact) in Co. Cork with the father's name unknown, I found 5 rcds.
For Jeremiah O'Sullivan M 1858 in Co. Cork, I found 18 rcds: 3-1856, 2-1857, 6-1858, 3-1859, & 4-1860.
For Ellen Collins M 1858 +/- 2 yrs in Co. Cork, I found 10 M rcds: 1856, 3-1857, 2-1858, 3-1859, 1860.
Suggest you screen the M rcds at the parish level to see if there is a match. If so, it is likely for your ancestors. Then, a view of the M rcd SHOULD show that the M was to each other. It should also list their parents' names and other details.
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.
