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 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).
Its easier and more conclusive to search for their offspring.
For Charles McCarthy B ???? somewhere in Ireland with the father forenamed Florence, I found 6 rcds, the earliest in 1824 Galway. This may be too late for your timeline.
For Cornelius McCarthy B ???? ditto, I found 1 rcd in 1835, Co. Kerry.
For Jeremiah McCarthy B ???? ditto, I found 4 rcds, the earliest in 1846 Co. Cork.
For Catherine McCarthy B ???? ditto, I found 12 rcds, the earliest in 1809.
From the 18th cent birth dates of the parents, I would expect to see their children born in the 1805 to 1825 range. Instead, the rcds occur almost a decade later. I conclude these probably aren't for your ancestors.
For Florence McCarthy B 1779 somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, the earliest rcd is for 1808.
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.
