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 Isabella Muldoon B 1885 +/- 4 yrs in Co. Tyrone with the father's forename unknown, I found 0 rcds.
For John McGaughey B 1880 +/- 4 yrs in Co. Fermanagh with the father's forename unknown, I found 3 rcds: 1876 and 1883. Neither was in Dromore parish. The father's forenames were Michael and William respectively.
For Joseph Hamilton B 1903 +/- 4 yrs in Co. Tyrone with the father's forename unknown, I found 18 rcds. None were in Fintona. Suggest you find their marriage rcd to get their parents' names. A known father's forename will reduce the number of false positives tremendously.
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.
