Hello Jamie:
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 John Maher B 1876 (exact), Templemore, Co. Tipperary, with a father forenamed James, I found 1 rcd.
For James Maher M 1874 +/- 1 yr in Co. Tipperary, I found 3 rcds: 2-1854, 1-1855. Parishes were Dunkerrin, Kilcommon, and Monsea respectively.
For Bri(dget) Bannon M ditto, I found 0 rcds matching those for James. You might want to expand the search range, and/or broaden the counties searched for both James and Bridget. There are only 98 M rcds for the Bridget Bannon name. About 1/2 are after 1856 and can be excluded from your search. With a bit of work, this is doable if the rcds survived, and have been transcribed. You may want to wait until the database is more complete.
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.
