I search the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,000,000 surviving rcds for abt 65% of Irish counties. Rcds B4 1840 are sparse.
In the existing database, there are 6,745 B rcds dating from 1742 and 3,135 M rcds dating from 1698 for the surname Shaughnessey for all years. These numbers will increase as more counties are added to the database.
Rcds for Co Carlow haven't been digitized yet. Suggest you wait until they are.
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.
Good luck.
