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 William O'Hare B 1842 +/- 1 yr somewhere in Ireland with an unknown father's surname, I found 7 B rcds: 1841 Tyrone, 1841 Antrim, 1843 Dublin, 1843 Kerry, 1843 Kildare, 1843 Antrim, 1843 Kildare, and 1843 Down.
For Mary Glynn B 1860 +/- 4 yrs ditto, I found 118 B rcds.
Suggest you search immigration documents, passenger lists, and naturalization papers to refine the DOB, father's name, and/or placenames.
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.
