Hello DanM:
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 H(annah) Costello B 1838 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with a father forenamed Walter, I found 0 rcds.
For Walter Costello M ???? somewhere in Ireland, I found 5 M rcds within a relevant range: 1821 Galway, 1831 Galway, 1834 Longford, and 2-1838 Galway.
For Mary Tangney M ditto, I found no matching rcds. Note - the Tangney surname appears often in Co. Kerry. Rcds for this area haven't been fully transcribed yet. Suggest you wait until they are.
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.
