Hi,
Thank you for your message.
Do you have any other information on the family that you can share? Do you know Daniel's approx. date of birth?Do you have any information on their parents or possible siblings? Do you know much more about their emigration? What religion they followed?
One of the main pieces of information that you need when researching your family history in Ireland is a location. Most Irish record sources- parish records, land records, census records- are based on specific locations. Until you know a specific location within Ireland, preferably a parish or placename, it may be difficult to do anything more with these records.
Do you have any documentation belonging to Mary that mentions a specific placename-a townland/parish/village/town? Was Daniel also from Cork?
Do you know much about their emigration? Generally more information was given at the port of arrival rather than that of departure. If you knew where they arrived in Canada it may be a place to find more inforamtion-and perhaps even an exact place of origin. For immigration inforamtion in Canada check the National Archives and Library at http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/index-e.html
Once you know what parish they belonged to, you will then be able to search the church records for that parish.

Remember to post as much information as you can with regard to the people you are researching. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.
