Hello R. Burns:
I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,700,000 surviving rcds for abt 70% 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 30%.
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 Dan(iel) Burns B 1845 (exact), Patrickswell, Co. Limerick, with a father forenamed James, I found 1 rcd. Thanks for having such good information. This rcd has a good chance of being for your ancestor.
For James Burns M 1841 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 4 rcds: 1838 Kildimo RC parish, 1838 Patrickswell, 1842 St. Mary's, and 1843 Dromcolliher.
For Mary McMahon M ditto, I found 29 rcds - too many to summarize here. Searching by parish, I found 2 possible matches in 1842, St. Mary's RC parish. These are HIGHLY likely to be for your ancestor. A view of the detailed rcd should show whether they married each other. If so, this will validate the rcds. The view SHOULD also show their parents' names as well as other info. This will be useful in identifying their B rcds below.
For Mary McMahon B 1821 +/- 4 yrs, Co. Limerick, with the father's forname unknown, I found 22 rcds - too many to summarize here.
For James Burns B 1819 ditto, I found 6 rcds: 1815, 1816, 1817, 1818, 1819, and 1821. Father's forenames were Larry, John, Michael, Daniel, Michael, and Denis respectively.
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. Good luck.
