Colbert

Hello All! I am trying to find some information on some of my ancestors but seemed to have hit a wall. I am trying to find out more information about James Colbert. He was born in Limerick in 1815 and married Ellen Hayes. They both had a son Michael J Colbert in 1849 in Kilkinlea. I would like to know and learn about James Parents!

I assume James Colbert was Roman Catholic? If I'm wrong, please advise.

I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland but was unable to find a baptismal record for a James Colbert in Co. Limerick around 1815. Kilkinlea is in Abbeyfeale RC parish and baptismal records for that parish start in 1829. If James was from that parish then a record would not exist.   I was unable to find a marriage record for James and Ellen Hayes and also did not find a baptismal record for Michael.
