Hi Sarah:
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 Edward, Denis, and James Trainor (+variants) in an appropriate range of years with a father forenamed Owen, I found 0 rcds.
For Alice Hinds (Hynes) M 1866 +/- 1 yr somewhere in Ireland, I found 1 rcd in 1863, Co. Down, Newry & Mourne RC parish.
For Owen Trainor M ditto, I found ditto. This and Alice's rcd are HIGHLY likely to be for your ancestors - but no guarantee. A view of the detailed rcds SHOULD clearly show whether the M was to each other. If so, the view will LIKELY show their parents' names and other useful info. The 1863 date suggests that your 1850 estimated DOB may be off by abt 5 yrs.
For Alice Hinds B 1845 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 2 rcds: 1843 Tipperary, and 1846 Limerick. Neither county is close to Co. Down. The father's forenames were John and Denis respectively.
For Owen Trainor B ditto, I found 7 rcds: 1842 Cavan, 1842 Armagh, 1843 Louth, 2-1844 Louth, 1848 Armagh, and 1849 Kildare. Father's respective forenames were Owen, Michael, "Jas," Michael, Hugh, Michael, and Philip.
The B rcds are less conclusive than the marriage rcds. The marriage rcds SHOULD have given you both parents' names. This info can help you validate which, if any, B rcds are for your ancestors.
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.
