I searched the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 11,500,000 surviving rcds from abt 60% of Irish counties. Rcds B4 1840 are sparse.
For Mary Ann Anderson B 1837 +/- 4 yrs, I found 3 rcds, all in Co. Armagh. Only 7 of 21 parishes/districts don't have rcds dating back to this period. Therefore, your chances are relatively good that one of these rcds is for your ancestor.
Google the Foundation's name to lead you to the database. A view of a detailed rcd(s), should give you info to link a specific rcd to your lineage.
