I search the IFHF's online database at ROOTSIRELAND.IE. It has abt 20 M church/civil/census B/M/D records for MOST Irish counties, including Sligo. Records before 1863 are increasingly sparse - almost non-existant by 1800. Protestant records are the LEAST likely to have survived.
For Jos(eph) Cunningham B 1877 +/- 5 yrs, Co. Sligo, with a mother forenamed Mary, I found 0 records. Expanding the search to all of Ireland with the same date range, I found 7 records. Two of the 7 have father's forenamed John.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
