I am searching for Patrick McDaid born approximately 1818 in Donegal county.
Using the griffiths valuation I have narrowed it down to 6 people in 4 different parishes. I know the birth of one son in 1839 and a daughter in 1852 and the first name of his wife. There are only birth records for one of the parishes in the family search catalogue. Where else can I look for birth records or something that would connect him to the children? Is there a way to write to the Parish for birth information?

You may not need to write to the parish. Give us the names of the four parishes and we should be able to use Ryan, James G. Irish records: sources for family & local history. Dublin: Flyleaf Press/Ancestry. 1999. to discover what years survive and where the records were at the time the book was published.
Were they Catholic or protestant?

The four parishes in Donegal that have a Patrick McDaid in Griffiths are (Aughnish.Clonmany, Tullyfern and Conwal). There is one film in FHL on Conwal for baptisms in 1851 that I will search today for the birth of Anna. He has a son Daniel James born dec 25 in 1839 and a daughter Anna born approx 1852. We have found several U.S records for the 2children because they immigrated. We don't know the name of the Parish and it is not listed on any of the records we have found but know it was Donegal county. We think he was a Presbyterian but he was married in a Catholic church in New York so not really certain about the religion. Thanks for your help!
