Hi Kay:
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 Mary Lindsay B 1843 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father forenamed George, I found 1 rcd in 1847, Co. Dublin.
For Jane Lindsay B 1840 ditto, I found 1 rcd in 1841 Mayo.
For Geo(rge) Lindsay M 1836 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 1 rcd in 1839 Co. Mayo.
For Mary McKenzie/Sheridan M ditto, I found NO matching rcd for that of George.
For Geo(rge) Lindsay B 1807 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 0 rcds.
For Mary McKenzie/Sheridan B 1810 ditto, I found 39 rcds for the Sheridan surname, but none were in Ulster province.
Will leave it to you to visit the database and research the remaining names.
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.
