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 Abigail Leary M ???? somewhere in Ireland, I found 8 rcds: 1806, 1823, 2-1840, 2-1843*, and 1858 Cork. Another rcd was in 1847 Limerick.
For Denis Healy M ditto, I found only one rcd which POTENTIALLY matches a rcd for Abby: 1843. Further screening at the parish level revealed this was a NO match.
For Marg(aret) Healy B ???? in Co. Cork, with a father forenamed Denis, I found 6 rcds: 1803, 1806, 1834, 1849, 1881, and 1883. The later two appear the more likely.
For Thomas Healy B 1879 +/- 4 yrs ditto, I found 1 rcd in 1877, Mourneabbey RC parish.
For Ju(lia) Healy B ???? ditto, I found 1 rcd in 1877, Mourneabbey.
For Mary Healy B ???? ditto, I found 1 rcd in 1882, Mourneabbey.
For unnamed siblings B in Mourneabbey with a father forenamed Denis, potential candiates are Jeremiah 1876, Patrick 1878, Thomas 1877, Bridget 1874, Ellen 1880, and George 1882.
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.
