I search 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. Without a known county, the chance that your ancestors are in this database is AT LEAST 35%.
Co. Kerry rcds aren't in this database yet. It may be some years B4 they are.
There are a few thousand Down B rcds in Ireland. Assuming Ellen was born in Ireland in 1830 +/- 4 yrs, I found 6 B rcds: 1826 Limerick, 1828 Limerick, 1832 Dublin, 1832 Kilkenny, 1833 Kilkenny, and 1833 Limerick.
Suggest you search church, census, naturalization rcds to confirm DOB and find DOM and place.
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.
