Hello Allan:
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 Gifney M 1843 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 4 rcds: 2-1844 Cavan, and 2-1846 Longford.
For Hon(ora) Kirby M ditto, I found 2 rcds: 1839 Cork and 1846 Cork. Neither is a match for John's rcds.
For Hon(ora) Kirby B 1822 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 2 rcds: 1822 and 1823, both Co. Cork. One of these MAY be for your ancestor - no guarantee and your info is sketchy at best. You will need an exact DOB, parent(s) name(s), and/or placename(s) to pick which, if any, is the correct one.
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.
