Hi Rebecca:
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 Cat(herine) Caffrey M 1831 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 14 rcds: 1829 CAV, 1829 DUB, 1829 LNG, 2-1829 MEA, 3-1830 KID, 1830 MEA, 1831 CAV, 3-1833 MEA, 1833 LNG, 1833 LEI, 1834 DUB, 1834 MEA, and 1834 DWN.
For Joseph Drummond M ditto, I found 0 rcds. The earliest M rcd for this name is in 1856 ARMagh. This seems waaay too late for your timeline.
There is a possibility that their rcds haven't been transcribed by the IFHF yet. Suggest you wait until they are. This may take some time; be patient.
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.
