Greetings from Nepean (Ottawa) Ontario, Canada.
I am trying to break thru on Ireland tracing where my ancestors who migrated to the London East-end circa 1845 to 1851.
Looking for two marriages of a Thomas Murray (born 1817-18 Cork **): before 1848 to a Jane Neville (1820 - 1851 born Cork **) and to Catherine Mahoney in 1852-53 (aged 37 in 1871 London census) probably the daughter of Dennis and Ellen (nee Callaghan) Mahoney.
The second marriage was probably a desperate afair on his behalf, widowed in late 1851 with a 4 year old daughter Jane.
I have a potential baptism of Catherine (all unconfirmed) in March1837.

John:
Full civil registration started in 1864. Prior to 1864, you have to rely on available church records. There are two sites which have Co. Cork church records. www.irishgenealogy.ie is a free site which has records for the Diocese of Cork and Ross. The other site is Roots Ireland which is a subscription site.
I looked on both sites and did not locate a Thomas Murray marriage to either of the two ladies.in your note.
