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 James Clarke B 1898 +/- 1 yr in Co. Longford with the father's forename unknown, I found 1 rcd in 1898, Ardagh & Moydow parish. Father's forename was James as well. A view of the detailed B rcd should show both parent's names, and usually, the mother's maiden name.
For Michael Clarke B ???? ditto in Ardagh parish, I found 0 rcds within a relevant range of yrs.
For Joseph Clarke B ???? ditto, I found 0 rcds.
For Mena Clarke B ???? ditto, I found 0 rcds anywhere in Ireland of this database.
It is likely that the children were born after 1920 which is the ending date for this database.
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.
