Hello Peter:
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 county, 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 Martin McGraw/McGrath B 1815 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 2 rcds: 1817 Galway, and 1818 Co. Dublin. Father's forenames were Patrick and Darby respectively.
For Winnifred Bartley B 1810 ditto, I found 1 rcd under the name variant Partlon in 1806 Sligo. The father's forename was James.
The above are my best guesses based on your sketchy info. I reiterate my notes: rcds at these early dates are very scarce. The chances that either is for your ancestors is less than 20%. You may want to wait until the database is more complete.
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.
