Hello Alan:

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 Elisabeth McComish B/M, the earliest B rcd is for 1843, Co. Down. The earliest M rcd is NONE.

For James McGrath B 1804 +/- 4 yrs in all Ireland in the database, there are 38 B rcds. If you want a different range of dates, visit the foundation's database.

For James McGrath M ditto, I found 11 rcds. Ditto.

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.
