Hi Debbie:
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 Marg(aret) Molloy B 1901 +/- 4 yrs, Co. Tipperary, with the father's forename unknown, I found 0 rcds. I also screened both the RC and civil parish rcds for Carrick-on-suir for her brothers names, but found 0 rcds. B/M/D registration was civil after 1863. Those civil rcds which survived the 1922 Four Courts fire are kept by the General Register Office. Google http://www.groireland.ie to request copies, if they exist.
Another source is the 1901 Irish census. These rcds aren't in the IFHF database for Co. Tipperary yet.
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.
