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 Owen O'Reilly B 1840 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, possibly Fermanagh, with the father's forename unknown, I found 36 rcds. One is in Co. Fermanagh in 1836.
For Bernard O'Reilly B ditto, I found 78 rcds with 6 in Fermanagh.
For Owen O'Reilly B 1856 (exact) somewhere in Ireland with a father's forename of Owen, I found 0 rcds.
For Pat(rick) O'Reilly B 1866 (exact) ditto, I found 1 rcd.
For Luke " B ???? ditto,
For Alice Kelly B 1840 +/- 4 yrs in Fermanagh ditto, I found 0 B rcds. The earliest is in 1878. I got similar results when I searched for a marriage in the same county.
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.
