Hi Victoria:

Your "Nevry" is probably "Newry," a parish in Co. Down.

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 Edw(in) Brennan B 1842 +/- 4 yrs, Newry, Co. Down with the father's forename unknown, I found 5 rcds with a forename of "Edward," but none for "Edwin."

For Mary O'Hare B 1844 ditto, I found 27 rcds - too many to summarize here.

Which children were born in Ireland and when were their DOB?

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.
