I searched 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 parish, 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 Cath(erine) McCaffrey B 1895 (exact) in Fermanagh with a father named Patrick, I found 0 B rcds. The closest are in 1892 and 1898. One MAY B4 your ancestor.
B/M/D registration was civil after 1863 and comprehensive. Civil rcds are at the Public Records Office for Northern Ireland. Google "PRONI" for its website. Fees apply.
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.
