I looked for Attymass Parish, Mayo and Kilgarvan Parish on the ifhf site. You may well be able to get them in NLI (I have not look in their index, the original poster should), but the ifhf is a quick place to get a first look!

If you go to an Irish county whose records they have, then look at "sources" for that county, you get a list of parishes and dates for which they have BMDs. It is not a definitive list of parish records available anywhere, just a list of what they have. And there are a lot of problems with their transcriptions etc

I am more familiar with Tipperary records, and they certainly do not have them all there!

I asked about the parishes as I wondered if the records could be held in the Ballina parish register which is only six miles away from Attymass but since have discovered that Attymass parish church was built in the 1830's so it looks as if the records for the early years are lost -

You learn with Irish research never to believe that records were destroyed - one copy may have been, but another copy may still exist

Anyway I looked up NLI and they have

Attymass Baptisms 16 June 1875 – 22 Aug 1880 P.4224
                Marriages 1 Feb 1874 – 15 Oct 1880

Kilgarvan Baptisms 15 March 1870 – 31 Dec 1880 P.4227
                Marriages 16 Nov 1844 – 4 May 1880

You often find that the local clergyman has a copy that he still keeps, so the fact theat NLI and ifhf do not have it, is not proof that it soes not exist. You just have to keep on asking, in this case that local churches.
