You've a previous thread looking for this information on Hannah- please see the advice already posted there

Also, have a look at Introduction to Irish Records and My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start?.

As you see I have now the parents names that I didn't have before. I see births not registered til 1864 which doesn't help just don't know where else to go.

Unfortunately you need to know where to look i.e. townland or parish, so you can check what records are available for the area that your Hannah was baptised.

Cork is the largest county in Ireland with over 100 RC parishes (assuming she was Catholic), and not all of these have records going back to 1850.

The parents names could be a very useful clue in confirming, or ruling out, any records you find - but you have to find possible matches first..

Parish records for part of Co. Cork, mostly south west, are available free on http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/
 
Transcripts of other Co. Cork records, for the north east of the county are available on the pay website of the Irish Family History Foundation ad : www.rootsireland.ie

Do you have her father's name - you didnt mention it ?

No what you read is all I have unfortunately. I'm NZer and unless it is on a sight not much I can do but thank you

I had a search of the IrishGenealogy website and did see a few Healy/Sheehan couples, but none that fit your details - i.e. mother's name of Julia.  It's worth checking the site from time to time, as they are due an update later in the year.

I would guess that if Hannah's father worked in a brewery then it might be more likely that they lived in the a major town, or maybe even Cork city as there were several large breweries located in the city.

Millstreet is a town in North Cork near the Cork/Kerry border. The Catholic church is part of the Diocese of Kerry. Why don't you try writing to the local parish priest.
