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 Pat(rick) McCaffrey B 1863 +/- 4 yrs in Cavan, I found 12 B rcds, 2 in 1863 exact. However, I found 3 B rcd for Bri(dget) in 1865 and 1866 Cavan. For Owen, there is a B rcd in 1868. Some of these may, or may not, be for your ancestors as you are unsure of many dates and the county. Check to see it they have the same father's forename.
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.
