Searching for Family History

I am trying to find the birth places of my grandparents Margaret Kane (1806) and William Kenney (1810).  I have my DNA and my mother's DNA.  Is there any way, I can use this information to find this out.  Thanks for any help you can offer.  This has been a lifetime of dead ends, but I feel like I am just looking in the wrong place maybe...

Can you clarify the years of birth for Margaret Kane and William Kenney? 1800s or 1900s? It would be very difficult for you to have grandparents born 1806/1810. If they were born in the early 1900s, we will need a little more info to find birth records. The two names are fairly common.

Without knowing the parents names, there is no way to confirm any records found and many parishes do not have records back to 1810. I did search the subscription site Roots Ireland and there are ten Margaret Kane/Cain baptismal records around 1810--- 1807 (2) 1808 1809 1811 (3) 1812 (3)  For William Kenney, there were five records 1804 1805 1806 1808 (2)
