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 Pat(rick) McDermott B 1838 (exact) somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 15 B rcds.
For Julia Conner B 1847 +/- 1 yr ditto, I found 4 B rcds: Cork, Kilkenny, Kildare, and Tipperary. Most were on name variants.
For Pat(rick) McDermott M 1865 (exact) somewhere in Ireland, I found 18 M rcds in counties Roscommon, Mayo, Sligo, Mayo, Galway, Louth, Fermanagh, Dublin and Antrim.
For Julia Conner M ditto, I found 8 M rcds. The counties were Galway, Limerick, Cork, and Tipperary.
Assuming the 1865 date is correct, the only county in common is Galway. Suggest you search each Galway parish for the one in which a marriage for each occurred. If so, this is likely for your ancestor. If not, you may want to try another search range. This is tedious.
Alternatively, B/M/D was civil after 1863 and mandatory. Civil rcds are kept by the General Register Office. Contact it at http://www.groireland.ie for certificate copies. Fees apply.
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. The M cert. SHOULD show their parents' names and other info.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
