Hi Frances:
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 Archibald Gray M 1793? in Co. Antrim or Down, I found 0 rcds. There is a M rcd in 1794 for the surname Gray, but the forename is missing - probably either wasn't rcd'd, or was illegible.
For Ann Miller there are M rcds in this database. The earliest is for 1778. The next rcd is in 1827. It appears that this event either wasn't rcd'd, or was lost in the passage of time.
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.
