Hi Debbie:
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 James Boyle M 1845 (exact) somewhere in Ireland, I found 11 rcds: 2-Tipperary, 4-Antrim, Leitrim, Armagh, Mayo, Tyrone, and Meath.
For Mary Murphy M ditto, I found 127 rcds - waaaay too many to summarize here, but there are 27 in the same counties noted above.
For Mary Boyle M ditto, I found 15 rcds: 4-Antrim, 4-Louth, 2-Roscommon, Tipperary, Limerick, Sligo, Mayo, and Leitrim.
For John Murphy M ditto, I found 104 rcds with 15 in the same counties as for Mary Boyle.
Note - I only searched for 1845. If you expand the range, you increase the number of possibilities. Assuming the DOM was 1845 and the marriages occurred in the same parish, you should be able to find it by screening at the parish level of detail. This is tedious. Suggest you try to find a more exact DOM.
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.
