Seems to confirm your theory of the interchangeable surname.

The marriage record isn't on roots but the National Library has the R C registers freely availabe at registers.nli.ie/; Mitchellstown marriages start in July 1845 there. www.irishgenealogy.ie/ (Church records) is good for Cork records too

Bartholomew's occupation - this link http://www.failteromhat.com/ has a couple of 1846 Mitchellstown Commercial Directories you could have a look through in case he was a businessman.

Dear Col,

Thank you so very much!  Your assistance and guidance is of great help to me.  I didn't know about Ellen Mahoney.  Also, I think Mary, born in 1846, must have died before 1850, because my great grandmother was also Mary Joseph, born in 1850.  

Again, thank you very much,

Margaret
