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 Rose O'Neill B 1863 (exact) somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename of John, I found 4 rcds: 1862 Armagh, 1863 Down, 1864 Down, and 1867 Armagh. One of these MAY be for your ancestor - no guarantees. A view of the detailed rcds MAY give you clues which will validate the correct rcd, determine her parents names and identify their marriage and birth rcds.
Rose Ann's M rcd in England MAY identify her parents' names as well.
For John O'Neill M 1856 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 208 rcds.
For John O'Neill B 1831 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 432 rcds. This is an impossible number
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.
