Hi Amy:
I believe your Bottinglass MAY be, a parish in Co. Wicklow, Ireland.
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%.
For Mary Lee B 1839 +/- 1 yr, Co. Wicklow, with the father's forename unknown, I found 3 rcds: 1838 Clonegal, 1839 Dunlavin, and 1839 Avoca RC parishes. Father's forenames were James, Michael, and Patrick respectively.
You may want to do your own search of other Irish counties.
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.
