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 Patricia Josephine Griffin B 1899 (exact) somewhere in Ireland with a father forenamed Pat(rick), I found 2 rcds: 1 church (Rahoon parish), 1 civil (Galway #2 CP), Co. Galway. These may be duplicates of the same event. These are likely for your ancestor.
For Pat(rick) Griffin M 1898 +/- 4 yrs in Co. Galway, I found 7 rcds. Two, (1 church, 1 civil), in 1897 are in Rahoon RC Parish and Galway #2 CP respectively. These are likely for your ancestor. A view of the detailed rcds SHOULD show the bride's name. It also MAY show their parents' names and other info.
For Pat(rick) Griffin B 1874 +/- 4 yrs, Rahoon parish & Galway #2 CP, Co. Galway, I found 3 rcds: 2 church, 1 civil. The info found on the M rcds above should help you select which, if any, is the correct one.
For Mary Anne ????, the M rcds above should have revealed her maiden name. Use a similar search technique to find her B rcds. Note - her B may have been in a different county.
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.
