I am looking for information on Humphrey O'LEARY (LEARY?). He was born around 1805 in Killarney, Kerry County, Ireland. I believe his parents were John and Bridget [SULLIVAN] O'LEARY.
Humphrey married Mary COGHLAN in 1838 in Goleen, Cork County, Ireland. It looks like they had nine (9) children: Cornelius (b. 1830), Ellen (b. 1833), Timothey (b. 1835), Catherine (b. 1843), Humphrey Jr (b. 1846), Michael (b. 1847), John Joseph (b. 1849), Margaret and Mary.
At some point, they migrated to America, appearing in the 1850 Census in New York, where Humphrey died in 1884.
Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help!

Amy,
RootsIreland gives the following children for John and Bridget. Most of them were born in the parish of Killarney, but a few of them were born in Causeway parish.
There are two Marys and two Johns. It's likely that the earlier child died and the name was used again.
Leary Mary 1803 Co. Kerry
Leary Denis 1805 Co. Kerry
Leary John 1808 Co. Kerry
Leary Timothy 1808 Co. Kerry
Leary Humphrey 1810 Co. Kerry
Leary Thomas 1811 Co. Kerry
Leary Mary 1813 Co. Kerry
Leary Jeremiah 1815 Co. Kerry
Leary John 1817 Co. Kerry
Leary Thomas 1818 Co. Kerry

Is 1838 correct marriage date for Humphrey and Mary? Did they have three children before they married?

Perhaps Humphrey was married twice and had three children with his first wife. Then he married Mary Coghlan.
