Hello Jonathan:
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 Anastatia Brennan B 1877 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 12 rcds, all in Co. Kilkenny. None were in 1877 exact.
For James Brennan B 1885 ditto, I found 219 rcds with 79 in Kilkenny. Nine were in 1885 exact.
For Mich(ael) Brennan B 1883 ditto, I found 226 rcds with 63 in Kilkenny. Only 1 was in 1883 exact.
Will leave it to you to sort these Brennan Kilkenny rcds by parish to see if you can find one in common.
For Laurence Nolan B 1890 +/- 2 yrs in Co. Kilkenny with the father's forename unknown, the closest rcd I found was in 1888, Gowran CP. The father's forename was James.
For James Nolan B 1891 ditto, I found 8 rcds: 1889, 1890, and 6-1892. Father's forenames were 89Michael, 90John 92James, 92James, 92Patrick, 92Patrick, 92Edward, 92Edward. For the 1892 rcds there are likely church and civil duplicates of the same B event. Note, the father's forename common to Laurence and James is "James." However, neither the church nor the civil rcd is in Gowran parish. A view of their B rcds SHOULD reveal both parent's names and other info.
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.
