But will try. Pre 1864 records are sacramental. Therefore, if they do exist, you will need to know religion, townland, name of parent and/or siblings. Griffiths Valuation might help if your ancestors were still in Ireland at the time. 1824 Tithe Applotments may have data. However, again you would need the name of county, townland, landlord. Not all Tithe records have family data but you might luck out. If your ancestor was Protestant and married in Ireland, there are Civil marriage records which started in 1845.
