Inchigeelagh is in Co. Cork. By map inspection, it is close to the boundary between Cork (north & east) and Cork (south & west). The former's rcds have been digitized, the latter haven't.
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 parish, 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 Johanna Riordan B 1872 +/- 4 yrs in Co. Cork with a father forenamed Daniel, I found 1 rcd in 1870, Banteer parish. This doesn't meet your criteria; therefore, it isn't likely for your ancestor. Suggest you wait until the rest of Co. Cork's rcds have been digitized. Then there is a good chance you will find her B rcds.
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.
