Hello Russ:
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 Pat(rick) Molloy B 1833 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 73 rcds - too many to summarize here. Assuming Patrick followed the Irish naming tradition, his father's name was John(athan). This cuts the number of rcds to just 8.
For Jul(ia) Flynn B 1835 ditto, I found 10 rcds: 1832 Cork, 1833 Tipperary, 1835 Kilkenny, 1836 Cork, 2-1837 Cork, 1837 Tipperary, 2-1838 Cork, and 1839 Dublin.
It would REALLY help if you KNEW that they were married in Ireland. It's more conclusive to search for marriage rcds than B rcds. I looked for the marriage within a relevant range, but couldn't find one.
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.
