Hi Pat:
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 Mich(ael) Quinn B 1843 +/- 2 yrs somewhere in Ireland with a father forenamed Michael, I found 2 rcds: 1842 Tipperary, and 1842 Westmeath. One of these MAY be for your ancestor - no guarantee. A view of the detailed B rcds SHOULD show the parent's names. This will validate or invalidate the rcd(s).
For Alice Bannon M 1839 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 1 rcd in 1840, Co. Cavan.
For Mich(ael) Quinn M ditto, I found 90 rcds. However, none were in 1840, Co. Cavan. This is a no match. It infers the rcd for Alice is likely a false positive. Suggest you 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.
