I'm looking for any information related to my 4th great grandparents: Jeremiah Corkery (c1819-1887) and Catherine Sheehan (c1812-1896). See below for what I believe to be their marriage record and a birth record for their son John. According to their death records, Jeremiah's parents names were Jeremiah and Mary, and Catherine's were Timothy and Mary (no maiden names recorded).

Jeremiah, Catherine and their their four children immigrated to Wales in the 1860s and then all settled in Massachusetts, USA in the 1870s. The children included my 3rd great grandmother Margaret Corkery (1840-1911) and her siblings John F (1842-1908), Annie F (1858-1917), and Hanora M "Nora" (c1859-1884). There may have been at least one other sibling, Jeremiah (1857-?). Margaret married James E Canniff (1843-1900), who was likely from the Bandon area.

The only Jeremiah Corkery listed in Griffiths Valuation for Clondrohid parish is in Ardnacrushy. There is no Griffiths listing for Timothy Sheehan in the parish, but there is a Mary in Garranenaguppul. 

Does anyone recognize these names or have any suggestions for finding additional records of this family? Thank you very much!
