Hi Margaret:
Your post was very sketchy, especially on workable dates.
I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,800,000 surviving rcds for abt 70% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800. Cos. Donegal and Derry were recently added to the database.
Note 1 - Without a KNOWN county, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 30%.
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 Mary Frances Feeney B ????, somewhere in Ireland, with a father forenamed Mic(hael), I found 0 rcds.
For Mary Ann Feeney B ????, Ulster province, ditto, I found 0 rcds within a relevant range.
For Mic(hael) Feeney M 1865 +/- 4 yrs, Ulster Province, I found rcds.
For Mary Meehan M ditto, any rcds I find are meaningless without a potential rcd for Michael.
Some of your meager info is off the mark. I rarely get such poor results. Suggest you dig through the censuses and naturalization papers (google NARA) to conjure up some DOB, and place of birth.
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.
