Hi Mary: You threw me a curve with your post. 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 Ann Condron B 1864 (exact) in Co. Limerick with a father forenamed Francis, I found 2 rcds: 1 civil, 1 church, Limerick #4 RD and St. Michael's RC parish respectively. These may be duplicates. These are HIGHLY likely to be for your ancestor. I suggest you view the detailed civil rcd as it probably has more info than the church. For Francis Condron M ???? in Co. Limerick, I found 1 rcd in 1863, St. Michael's RC parish. For Ellen Bourke M ???? ditto, ditto. A view of either rcd SHOULD show they married each other and show their parents' names as well as other info. This will help you identify Ellen's birth rcd. For Ellen Bourke B 1842 +/- 4 yrs in Co. Limerick with the father's forename unknown, I found 47 rcds - too many to summarize here. For Francis Condron B ???? +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 0 rcds within a relevant range. His rcds mayn't have been digitized yet. Suggest you wait until the database is more complete. 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. Notify Administrator about this message?
