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 Tobias Butler B 1835 +/- 4 yrs in Co. Kilkenny with the father's forename unknown, I found 1 rcd in 1831. The parish was Inistiogue. The father's forename was Mathew. A view of the detailed rcds SHOULD show his parent's names and other info.
Slightly possible siblings: Peter 1853, and Patrick 1858; it is more likely that the Mathew Butler family moved before/after Tobias was born and that these are false positives.
For Mathew Butler M 1829 +/- 2 yrs in Kilkenny, I found 0 rcds. The closest M rcd in Kilkenny is in 1823. Note - only 27 of 38 parishes were keeping B/M rcds as of 1830 while only 7 were before 1800.
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.
