Hi Margaret:
You should have posted the children's names and DOB. It is easier and more productive to search for newer rcds than old.
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 John Kearney M 1829 +/- 4 yrs, Co. Limerick, I found 1 rcd in 1831, Bulgaden RC parish.
For Hon(orah) Lyons M ditto, I found 0 matching rcds.
For John Kearney B 1808 +/- 4 yrs, Co. Limerick, with the father's forename unknown, I found 3 rcds: 1807, 1809 and 1811.
For Hon(orah) Lyons B 1802 ditto, I found 0 rcds.
You can extend your searches to other counties and different ranges.
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.
