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 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).
Ballycommon is in Nenagh parish, Co. Tipperary. M rcds start in 1792, but there are gaps.
For Peter Purcell B 1834 (exact) somewhere in Tipperary with a father forenamed John, I found 0 rcds.
For John Coleman M ditto, I found 1 rcd in Borrisokane parish. However, I couldn't find a matching M rcd there for anyone surnamed Colgan. Therefore the rcd for John is likely a false positive.
For Mary Maroney B ???? in Co. Tipperary, rcds within a relevant range are for 1832, 1835, 1839, and 3-1841.
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.
