Hello Duane:
I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,700,000 surviving rcds for abt 70% 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 30%.
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 Mary Prendergast B 1898 +/- 2 yrs, Co. Limerick, with a father forenamed John, I found 0 rcds.
For Walter and James B 1895 and 1896 +/- 4 yrs respectively, I found a rcd for Walter in 1896, Limerick #3 district, and James in 1895, also in Limerick #3.
For John Prendergast M 1890 +/- 4 yrs, Co. Limerick, I found 0 rcds.
For Mary Prendergast D 1898 and 1902, Co. Limerick, I found D rcds for each in Limerick #3 district.
For Hanora Cooney M 1899 +/- 3 yrs, Co. Limerick, I found 1 rcd in 1902, Limerick #2 district.
For John Prendergast M ditto, I found 1 rcd in 1899, Limerick #2 district. This and the above rcd for Hanora are too similar to be coincidental. It looks like an IFHF transcription error occurred. Suggest you confirm this with the IFHF.
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.
