Hello Kevin:
I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,800,000 surviving rcds for abt 70% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800. Cos. Donegal and Derry were recently added to the database.
Note 1 - Without a KNOWN county, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 30%.
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).
Note 4 - Microfilms of parish church rcds are kept by the National Library of Ireland (NLI).
For Bri(dget) Ryan B 1887 (exact), Co. Tipperary, with a father forenamed Henry, I found 1 rcd, Tipperary CP. This is likely for your ancestor.
POSSIBLE siblings B ????, Tipperary CP, with a father forenamed Henry are Catherine 1879, Denis 1880, Henry 1878, Johanna 1886, Mathew 1884, Mary 1878, and Margaret 1882. It looks like there was only 1 family headed by a Henry Ryan in this parish during this time.
For Henry Ryan M ????, Co. Tipperary, I found 0 rcds within a relevant range of years.
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.
