Dear Gilberte
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
As you can see from the link below, Abbeystrowry is a Civil Parish in Co. Cork:
Records for the corresponding Roman Catholic Parishes of Skibereen begin in 1814 for baptisms and 1837 for marriages and in Cahergah records begin in 1818. In this latter RC parish some marriage records are missing, notably between August and November 1858. It would be a good idea to have a look on irishgenealogy.ie to see if you can find a record of Daniel, Elizabeth or Charles. This is a free site and takes in the church records of parishes in South Cork.
There are some Lennon entries mentioned in Griffith?s Valuation (1847-1864) but none in Abbeystrowry. It would be difficult to know for sure at this point, which if any are related to Daniel and his family:

Gilberte you don't say whether your ancestor was catholic or protestant. I have extracted a number of protestant parish records for Lannins and variant spellings. See:
