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 Bri(dget) Barrett B 1896 (exact) in Co. Galway with a father forenamed William, I found 1 rcd in Carna parish.
For William Barrett B 1848 +/- 4 yrs, Co. Galway, with the father's forename unknown, I found 4 rcds: 2-1845, 1850, and 1851. Father's forenames were John, Edward, Thomas, and James respectively.
For Hon(ora) Fitzpatrick B 1850 ditto, I found only 2 rcds: 1852 and 1853.
Some of the B rcds MAY be for your ancestors - no guarantees. Suggest you have an exact DOB, parent(s) name(s), or placenames to select which, if any, is the right rcd(s).
For a William and Nora marriage, I couldn't find matching rcds within Galway in a relevant range of yrs.
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.
