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 Daniel Herley B ???? in Co. Cork with a father forenamed David, I found 1 rcd in 1823, Rathcormac parish for a Daniel Herlihy (a name variant).
Suggest you try to get his military service rcd. It is at:
National Personnel Records Center
Military Personnel Records
9700 Page Avenue
St. Louis, MO 63132-5100
Google the center name to get to its website. Download an info request form. Complete form and mail it with requisite fee to the address indicated. His widow likely received a pension. There should be records of it, also, her date of death.
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.
