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 John Mills M 1838 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 5 M rcds: 1836 Down, 2-1837 Leitrim, 1838 Limerick and 1842 Down.
For Mar(ia) O'Conner M ditto, I found only 1 M rcds - most unusual. This was in 1840 Limerick. This doesn't match any of the yr/cnty combinations for John.
It may be the event wasn't rcd'd, the rcd didn't survive, or rcd hasn't been transcribed 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.
