I searched 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 Richard Hackett B 1799 Co. Kilkenny with the father's forename unknown, I found 2 rcds near this date: 1794 Kilkenny, and 1801 Tipperary.
For Catherine Butler M 1825 +/- 4 yrs in Kilkenny/Tipperary, I found 24 rcds, 1 in 1825 Kilkenny, St. John's parish.
For Richard Hackett M ditto, I found 1 rcd in 1825 Kilkenny, also in St. John's parish.
The marriage is likely for your ancestor. A view of the detailed rcd will show whether the marriage was to each other. It SHOULD also show their parents' names.
The B rcd is arguable. The M rcd may provide info which will validate/invalidate it.
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.
