Hello Maria:
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 Edward Boyle B 1810 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 4 rcds: 1806 Limerick, 1806 Westmeath, 1809 Antrim, and 1811 Louth.
For Marg(aret) Corrigan B 1818 ditto, I found 12 rcds: 1814 Roscommon, 1814 Kilkenny, 1817 Roscommon, 1818 Roscommon, 2-1818 Kilkenny, 1819 Longford, 1820 Louth, 1820 Roscommon, 1821 Armagh, 1822 Wicklow, and 1822 Kilkenny.
For Edward Boyle M 1837 +/- 1 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 6 rcds: 1836 Down, 1836 Longford, 1836 Armagh, 1836 Antrim, 1837 Louth, and 1838 Sligo.
For Marg(aret) Corrigan M ditto, I found 13 rcds: 1836 Roscommon, 1836 Cavan, 1836 Tipperary, 1836 Dublin, 1836 Kilkenny, 1837 Longford, 1837 Louth, 1838 Antrim, 3-1838 Longford, and 1838 Tyrone. The only POTENTIAL match is in 1837 Louth. Suggest you visit the database and screen Louth by parish to see if you can find M rcds for each in the same parish. If so, these are highly likely to be for your ancestors.
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.
