Hi Marsha:
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 Han(ora) Coughlin B 1844 (exact) somewhere in Ireland with a father forenamed Mich(ael), I found 0 rcds.
For John Coughlin B 1845 ditto, I found 0 rcds.
For Tim(othy) Coughlin B 1851 ditto, ditto.
For Mich(ael) Coughlin M 1840 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 17 rcds - too many to summarize here, but some in Co. Cork.
For Mary Driscoll M ditto, I found 12 rcds, mostly in Co. Cork. Will leave it to you to 1st compare these yr/cnty combinations with those for Michael for POTENTIAL matches, and 2nd further screen the potential matches to see if one (sometimes more) match at the parish level. If so, these are likely for your ancestors. Note 2 may apply. In this case suggest you wait until the database is more complete.
Will leave it to you to research the database for all the other names you listed.
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.
