Hey Keewi,
Try these sites. Also, you should be able to get his death record from Jamaica.

Unfortunately a lot of records were destroyed during the Irish War of Independence and the subsequent Irish Civil War between 1919 and 1921, so you would have to go around to all the parishes.
But Baxter is not a name I would associate with Irish Catholics - is it possible that he was born into a Protestant family and converted? There may be central Church organisations that have birth and death records for members of the congregation, perhaps you could try them. The fact that Baxter is not such a common name in Ireland, and that you have some first names, might make your search easier.
Good luck with this.

Ireland is a geneaological minefield. As a few people have already said, most records simply don't exist. There was a huge fire in 1922 I think it was that practically destroyed anything of use to family historians, including many parish registers.
None of what little does survive is online, save for the obvious mormon databases at familysearch.org, and your chances of discovering anything I have to say are not good. Sorry.

If you can find the Parish he was born in, the local church should have a record. Be warned many of these records have been destroyed as the early 1800's was a much troubled time in Ireland.

You could try applying to Somerset House for a replacemnt birth certificate for him. Ask for a form, or apply via the net. Give as much information as you can, ie place of birth, parents etc good luck

You may need to contact the National Archive in Dublin - I saw Jeremy Irons do this on TV
