Hi Christine:
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 ???? Gannon B ????, Achill RC parish, Co. Galway, with a father forenamed Pat(rick), I found Hugh 1881, James 1894, John 1896, Martin 1868, Ned 1870, and Pat 1877.
For ???? Gannon B ????, Achill district CP ditto, I found Martin 1868, Patrick 1864, and Catherine 1866.
For Pat(rick) Gannon M ???? Achill RC, Co. Galway, I found 5 rcds: 1824, 1843, 1844, 1852, and 1879.
For Cat(herine) Kane M ditto, I found 5 rcds: 1826, 1833, 1868, 1869, and 1876. None of these is a match for Patrick's rcds. They may have married in a different parish/district. Will leave it to you to chase these rabbits.
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.
