They're microfilmed and included in Bekan Parish records but I don't believe they're available on microfilm through LDS: http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/rcparishmaps/index.cfm?fuseaction=showidrecords&CityCounty=Mayo&parish=Bekan&churchid=1050 Have you gotten the family information from the 1901 online Mayo census? Irish civil registrations records began in 1864 and you can search those on microfilm through your nearest LDS Family History Centre for family information. They're all in date order.
