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 Ned O'Meara B ???? somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 0 rcds.
For Marg(aret) O'Meara B 1814 +/- 4 yrs ditto, I found 14 rcds.
For Pat(rick) Cass B 1809 (exact) in Tipperary with the father's forename unknown, I found 1 rcd in 1811 Tipperary.
For Marg(aret) O'Meara M 1835 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 83 rcds. Only those for 1832 KIL, 1833 TIP, 1834 TIP, and 1835 LIM are common to the set below.
For Pat(rick) Cass M ditto, I found 10 rcds: 32 DUB, 32 KIL, 33 TIP, 34 TIP, 34 KIL, 35 LIM 36 KID, 37 KIL & 39 KID.
Will leave it to you to take the partial matches listed above, and match them at the parish level. If a rcd also matches at the parish level, it is highly likely to be for your ancestor.
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.
