Hi Kathy:
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 county, 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 Bridget McManus M 1831 +/- 4 yrs, Co. Antrim, I found 1 rcd, 1828, Belfast RC parish.
For Robert McClutchy M ditto, I found ditto for a surname recorded as "McClatchy." These rcds are highly likely to be for your ancestors. A view of the detailed SHOULD show the marriage was to each other. If so, this validates the rcd. A validated rcd USUALLY lists their parents' names as well as other info. The parents' names is a key bit of info which can be used to validate their birth rcds if they exist.
For Bri(dget) McManus B 1810 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 9 rcds: 1809 Meath, 1809 Longford, 1809 Sligo, 1811 Meath, 1811 Galway, 1812 Longford, 1813 Meath, and 1813 Galway. The father's respective forenames were Thomas, William, Michael, James, Phil, Michael, William, Brian, and James. None of these match your 1810 date. Also, none are in Co. Antrim. One MAY be for your ancestor. You will need an exact DOB, parent(s) name(s), and/or placename(s) to pick which, if any, is the correct one.
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.
