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 Eliza(beth) Dobson B 1882 +/- 4 yrs in Co. Leitrim with a father forenamed John, I found 1 rcd for an Eliza in 1878, Mohill district.
For John Dobson M 1874 +/- 4 yrs in Co. Leitrim, I found 1 M rcd in 1874 Mohill CI.
For Marg(aret) O'Hara M ditto, I found 2 rcds in 1877. This is a no match.
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.
