Tubbercurry is in Achonry parish.
I searched 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 John McHugh B 1881 (exact) in Co. Mayo with the father's forename unknown, I found 3 B rcds. Your knowledge of the exact DDMMYY DOB will let you find the correct rcd. A view of the B rcd SHOULD show you his parent's names. All the father's forenames were John.
For Ann Walsh B 1890 +/- 4 yrs in Anchonry parish, Co. Sligo, with the father's forename unknown, I found 1 B rcd in 1886. Ditto. The father's name was Patrick.
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.
