Hi Heather:
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 Mary Kilmartin B 1857 +/- 4 yrs, Co. Galway, with a father forenamed James, I found 1 rcd in 1857, Clontuskert RC parish.
For Marg(aret) Kilmartin B 1865 ditto, I found 0 rcds.
Will leave it to you to search for other siblings.
For James Kilmartin M 1853 +/- 4 yrs, Co. Galway, I found 0 rcds prior to 1881.
For James Kilmartin B 1834 ditto with the father's forename unknown, I found 0 rcds.
For Mary Nicholson B ditto, I found 4 rcds: 1833, 1835, 1836, and 1837. The 1835 rcd was in Clontuskert. The father's forename for this rcd was Pat(rick).
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.
