Hi Catherine:
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 Dwyer B 1867 +/- 1 yr in Co. Tipperary with a father forenamed Jeremiah, I found 0 rcds.
For Cat(herine) Dwyer B 1873 ditto with a father forenamed Pat(rick), I found 3 rcds: 1872 Littleton CR, 1874 Cappagh CR, and 1874 Kilcommon-Hollyford RC. The town of Hollyford is near/in Kilcommon-Hollyford parish.
For Jer(emiah) Dwyer B 1877 +/- 1 yr somewhere in Ireland with a father forenamed Pat(rick), I found 2 rcds in 1878: Cappagh (civil), and Kilcommon (church).
For Pat(rick) Dwyer M 1869 +/- 4 yrs, Co. Tipperary, I found 17 rcds with 4 in Kilcommon parish. For 1868, I found 1 rcd in Kilcommon (church) and Borrisoleigh (civil).
For Marg(arget) Todd M ditto, I found 2 rcds: 1868 Kilcommon (church), and 1868 Borrisoleigh (civil). This and the rcd for Patrick are highly likely to be for these ancestors.
For Bridget Mulcahy M 1862 +/- 4 yrs, Co. Tipperary, I found 4 rcds: 1858, 1863, 1864, and 1864-civil.
For Jer(emiah) Dwyer M ditto, I found 2 rcds: 1860 and 1865. This is a NO match with the rcds for Bridget. It is unlikely that either set of rcds are for your ancestor. They may have married elsewhere, or Note 3 applies.
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.
