Hi,
Thank you for your message.
Do you have any other information that you could share? Do you know anything about their parents, possible siblings? Do you know their religious denomination? Did they emigrate? If so what do you know about their emigration?
Unfortunately, the reality of finding documentation pertaining to births/baptisms/marriages/deaths in Ireland prior to 1800 ? particularly in rural areas ? is that they simply may not exist. As the Church of Ireland was the official church of the country and therefore the bulk of information that does survive for earlier periods is often from these registers.
For Church of Ireland records check: http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/.
Unfortunately Catholic records in the area do not go back as far as 1805. You can see this here:
You could try doing a search for them in the Tithe Applotment Books. This was a land survey carried out between 1823-1838. You can search this here:
