Hi Sarah:
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 Han(nah) Welsh B 1892 (exact), Co. Westmeath, with the father's forename unknown, I found 1 rcd. The parish was Clara Horsleap. The father's forename was Joseph.
For Bri(dget) Welsh B ????, Clara Horsleap, Co. Westmeath, with a father forenamed Joseph, I found 1 rcd in 1892.
For Mary Welsh B ditto, I found 3 rcds: 1872, 1878, & 1884.
For Ann Welsh B ditto, I found 2 rcds in 1887 and 1888.
For Joseph Welsh B ditto, I found 2 rcds: 1889 and 1890.
For Ellen Welsh B ditto, I found 1 rcd in 1896.
For Agnes Welsh B ditto, I found 0 rcds.
For Joseph Walsh M 1880+/- 4 yrs, Co. Westmeath, I found 1 rcd in 1884, Clara Horsleap parish.
A view of Hannah's B rcd SHOULD reveal her mother's name. This fact will help you pick which, if any, of the other rcds are the right ones.
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.
