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. If you like Ireland, Irish rcds are a form of self flaggelation.
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 Denis Coleman M 1875 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 1 rcd in 1875 Co. Cork, Kilnamartyra parish.
For Mary O'Brien M ditto, I found 8 rcds in Co. Cork. None were in the Kilnamartyra parish.
Co. Waterford rcds aren't in this database yet. Suggest you wait until they are. This may take 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.
