The dates you are looking for are well before the start of civil registration in Ireland so you'll need to get more information regarding where they lived (parish if not actual townland not just 'Ireland' or a county) before checking to see if any Irish records exist.

Have a look at Introduction to Irish Records (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,442233.0.html) and My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start? (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,498742.0.html).
