Can anyone tell me how to go about finding records prior to 1840 in Wexford and Dublin? I'm looking for Birth, Marriage and Death records. I'm further back than FamilySearch records. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you Sharon

No bmd's in Ireland before 1864 except Protestant marriages beginning 1845. Those vital records aren't computerised. Family search doesn't have all of them.
You need specific locations either in County Dublin or Dublin City as well as in County Wexford to look for church registers that might have survived. There aren't any county wide church records. Everything is location specific about what might be available and how it can be accessed.
