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 parish, 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 Sarah North M 1860 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 0 rcds.
For James Doyle M ditto, I found 53 rcds. However, without a matching rcd for Sarah, all of these are likely false positives.
Rcd keeping was generally good by 1860. It may be that they were married in one of the areas for which rcds haven't been digitized yet. This is likely true for the birth of their children. Suggest you wait until the database is more complete.
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.
