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 Will(iam) O'Keefe B 1887 +/- 2 yrs somewhere in Ireland with a father forenamed Mi(chael), I found 3 B rcds: 1885 Tipperary, 1885 Limerick, and 1885 Cork.
One of these MAY be for your ancestor. The mother's name may allow you to validate which, if any, is yours. The other alternative is this rcd may be in those Cork rcds which haven't been digitized.
For Bri(dget) Blanchim M 1882 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 0 M rcds. I can't find either B or M rcds for anydate, anywhere in Ireland. It might be that the spelling is wrong, or the rcds haven't been digitized. Without a hit for this name, it isn't worthwhile to search for a Michael marriage.
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.
