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 Marg(aret) Brady B 1873 (exact) in Co. Mayo with the father's forename unknown, I found 3 rcds. Father's forenames were Martin, and 2-Denis'. One Denis rcd may be a civil duplicate of the church rcd.
For William Welch B 1806 or 1816 somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 10 rcds in 1806 and 13 in 1816.
For William Welsh M 1843 +/- 1 yr somewhere in Ireland, I found 42 rcds.
Some of these MAY be for your ancestors - no guarantees. You will have to have an exact DOB, parent(s) name(s), or placenames to help you ID which ones are right. Try not to guess - this gets expensive. Do some more research at the RC parishes where Michal and William Jr. were baptized.
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.
