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 William Cleary B 1820 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with a father's forename unknown, I found 27 B rcds - too many to list here. One of these MAY B4 your ancestor - your chances aren't good at this early date.
For Mary Conway B 1816 somewhere in Ireland with a father's name unknown, I found 47 B rcds - again too many to list.
Assuming a marriage of William and Mary somewhere in Ireland in 1854 +/- 1 yr, I found only 2 cases where there were marriages for each in the same yr/cnty set: 1853 Limerick and 1854 Tipperary. Will leave it to you to find if there is a match at the parish level. If so, then there is a VERY good chance that this rcd is for your ancestors. A view of that detailed rcd SHOULD show their parents' names and other info.
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.
