I searched 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 Stephen O'Brien B 1870 (exact) somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 1 rcd in Co. Tipperary. The father's forename for this rcd is Daniel. This MAY be for your ancestor. Since you know the month of birth, this fact can validate/invalidate the rcd.
For Angel McCarthy B 1871 ditto, I found 0 rcds.
For Angel McCarthy M 1892 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 0 rcds. In fact, there are NO "Angel" McCarthy M rcds for anydate in this database.
B/M/D registration was civil after 1863 and comprehensive. Those rcds which survived the 1922 Four Courts fire are kept at either the General Register Office (Google http://www.groireland.ie) or the Public Records Office for Northern Ireland (google PRONI). Fees apply.
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.
