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 Thomas Ryan B 1829 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with a father named Thomas, I found 52 rcds with 17 in Co. Limerick. The rcd, if any, which has a mother named Honora/Hannah/Sarah Hickey is likely for your ancestor.
For Mary Connors (exact) M 1852 +/- 4 yrs in Co. Limerick, I found 18 rcds.
For Thomas Ryan M ditto, I found 40 rcds.
Will leave it to you to find the yr/parish combinations for both these individuals. Compare the two sets to see if there are matching rcds in the same yr and same parish (there may be more than one). If so, this is likely for your ancestors.
To search for Mary's B in Co. Clare, this county's rcds aren't in the database 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.
