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).
For Emily Walsh B 1881 +/- 1 yr in Co. Kildare with a father forenamed Mich(ael), I found 1 rcd. The parish was Caragh.
For her sister Nora, using the more formal Honor, I found only 1 rcd in 1858 in Kildare with a father forenamed Mich(ael) within a relevant range of yrs. The parish wasn't Caragh.
For Emily Walsh M ???? somewhere in Ireland, I found NO rcds within a relevant range of dates.
For Emily Masterson M ???? ditto, I found ditto. She MAY have married in a portion of Ireland for which rcds haven't been digitized yet.
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.
