Hello Alan:

What are the names and DOB (or ages) of the 2 children?

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 Richard Kearney M 1828 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 3 rcds: 1828 Limerick, 1829 Galway, and 1831 Cork.

For William Kearney M 1827 ditto, I found 11 rcds: 1823 Limerick, 1825 Roscommon, 1825 Limerick, 2-1828 Cork, 2-1829 Clare, 1829 Westmeath, 1829 Roscommon, 1829 Down, and 1831 Cork.

Work on Richard's rcds first. The 1831 M rcd is the most promising. If a view of the detailed rcd reveals the bride's forename was Clorinda/Clarinda, it would validate the rcd. If so, this would establish a home parish and eliminate most of the false positives for William.

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.
