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 Edmond Heffernan M 1873 +/- 4 yrs in Tipperary, I found 1 rcd in 1870.
For Cath(erine) Kelly M ditto, I didn't find a matching rcd. Note 3 may apply here.
B/M/D registration was civil after 1863 and comprehensive. Civil rcds are kept by the General Register Office (those that survived the Four Courts Fire of 1922). Contact this office at http://www.groireland.ie for cert. copies. Fees apply.
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.
