The records on FindMYPast are the same as released last summer on registers.nli.ie but FindMyPast have now added an index and they claim this will all be free to access for ever. This week's free access gives you all their Irish collection including 23 million Petty Sessions records, newspapers prison records so lots to search.
Ancestry have also indexed these records and are offering free access to all their Irish collection for the month of March. You will need to set up an account with them to access this data -This involves you giving your name and email address, that's all. No financial information is requested. Once your free account is confirmed, you're ready to start searching.

I joined to try and find information regarding my Great Great Grandfather born abt. 1812 in Roscommon but he doesn't come up in the Ireland Searches (I find him in England and Australian records but nothing in Ireland where born).

It may be that the parish that he comes from doesn't have records back as far as 1812. Few in Co. Roscommon do.

From other things I have found, Bumlin, Graffoge; Boyle, Great Meadow & Fryars Park; plus Stokestown are possibilities.
