Tony, You’ve got your services confused! (1) Irishgenealogy.ie is FREE - derive is run the the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. It has, inter alia, transcriptions, many with images, of parish records for Dublin city, and parts of counties Kerry, Cork and Carlow. The PAY site is RootsIreland.ie which costs €25.00 per month for up to (I think) 1,000 downloads of parish and other records, but these are transcriptions ONLY, for almost all counties on the island of Ireland. You can do an initial (very!) search for free. I had a quick look at both sites, and found Elizabeth Mingy, daughter of William Mingy and Mary Mullen, baptised on 19 November 1849 in St Nicholas parish, in Dublin, on Irishgenealogy.ie; there is a digital image of this record. This is the only record I turned up - no Lawrence. I’d suggest that you check this site out yourself, though. I found no Ming*ys on RootsIreland, though it did suggest that there might be entry for an Edward M*ng*y in Griffith’s Valuation. I’d guess that the surname here is probably Mongey though - which might be true of your Lawrence as well. Was there an image with the Ancestry record? Hope this helps.
