Hello Tom:
I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,800,000 surviving rcds for abt 70% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800. Cos. Donegal and Derry were recently added to the database.
Note 1 - Without a KNOWN county, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 30%.
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 Owen Carty B 1865 (exact), Co. Kilkenny, with a father forenamed John, I found 1 rcd. Since the IFHF worked with (or had access to) the original rcds, perhaps there transcription will be more legible.
For John Carty M 1861 +/- 4 yrs, Co. Kilkenny, I found 2 rcds: 1863 and 1864.
For Elizabeth Neil M ditto, I found 2 rcds: 1861 and 1865. This is a NO match. They may have married elsewhere, or the rcds didn't survive. Will let you pursue the former.
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.
