What are the main resources for Irish Genealogy

I am chasing birth details (probably 1867) for Caroline Caddell (Cadell-381) and her father Richard. I have checked Ancestry, Roots Ireland and Ireland Genealogy with no success. Clearly, either not all births were registered or I am missing something! Or are not all births and marriages not yet available? Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks

Ian

You should be able to pick out some sources of interest here but it sounds as if you are aware of the main ones.

You might also find some here

There are both WikiTree spaces leading to external sources.

Caroline is recorded as being of full age when she married in 1884. This would have her born before the start of civil registration in 1864. Which would explain why you can't find her on the civil register. From her marriage she seems to have been a Methodist, I wouldn't know though if/where methodist records would be avaliable...

Have you looked at the Ireland Project Resources?

Their Reliable Sources page has a link to Historical Sources of Ireland page, with sources by time period, including a section for  Post 1700
