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).
For Bartly McDermott B ???? in Co. Sligo with the father's forename unknown, the only rcd I found was for 1886 - this seems too late for your timeline.
For Batholomew McDermott B 1845 ditto, I found 0 rcds. The closest rcd I found was in 1866. Again - too late for your timeline.
For a Dominick McDermott and Mary Callahan marriage, there are 3 potential matches: 1833, 1844 and 1849, all in Mayo. One of these MAY B 4 your ancestors. Suggest you screen these at the parish level to see if there are matching rcds in the same parish. If so, this is likely for your ancestors.
Will leave it to you to search for the B rcds for the other children.
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.
