Hello Mike:
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 James Dougherty B 1832 +/- 1 yr somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 14 rcds: 1831 Cavan, 1831 Roscommon, 1831 Wicklow, 2-1832 Down, 1832 Armagh, 1832 Roscommon, 1832 Antrim, 1832 Tipperary, 1832 Limerick, 1832 Cavan, 1832 Cork, 1833 Cavan, and 1833 Limerick. Will leave it to you to screen the database for the father's forenames.
For Marg(aret) Dolan B 1834 +/- 4 yrs ditto, I found 38 rcds - too many to summarize here.
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.
