Aha - I found one. This doesn't happen often.
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 James Gleeson B 1845 in Co. Tipperary with father's forename unknown, I found 2 rcds: Nenagh and Toomevarra parishes. Father's names were John and William respectively. One, or neither, of these MAY be for your ancestor.
For John Woodhouse M 1833 in Co. Mayo with a father's forename unknown, I found 1 rcd in Oughaval RC parish.
For Cath(erine) Carney M ditto, I found ditto.
These rcds are HIGHLY likely to be for your ancestors - but no guarantee. A view of the detailed rcds SHOULD show the marriage was to each other. It should also show their parents' names and other details.
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.
