Estelle,
TFHR may be your best bet. Church records are very important and with a lack of census in
this time frame, there isn't much else whereby you can find out who was in a family.
TFHR is pretty reliable. Their records are computerized and so subject to having been
misread when they were extracted.
I had a search done about a year ago. They did not find my family group (this was a true
shot in the dark) but they got back to me quickly.
If you haven't done so already, you might want to check out which parishes are covered by
the Diocese of Cashel and Emly. These are the records TFHR has.

You will not be likely to get death information from them.
Good luck,
Chris
