I couldn't find John & Mary's marriage record in any year or county on roots

The Tithe Applotments (free at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/)  have 5 John Fox listings - 2 from Brackrey Beg & 2 from Brackary Beg (year is not given but 1830's; parish Killasnet

Griffiths Valuation has this John Fox listing 4 times 1857:

Thank you so much, Col, for this information.

Were you able to find Barney Fox, b. 1839,  also listed as a baptism, or any other record?

By 1852, Mary Fox indicates that she is a widow.  Although, if she and John had split, that could have been an easy explanation, I suppose.

We have never captured Thomas Fox as a child of John and Mary, I think we had the wrong birth date for John jr  so this is helpful. James Fox fits nicely into the records that we alos have him on a US census for 1850 as living with Mary.

Thank you for your assistance.

Theresa Foxx-Wishert

Forgot to mention I could not find Barney's birth or baptism on roots; only records around 1839 are 2 in 1838  (1 Meath & 1 Westmeath) & 2 from 1841 (Westmeatn & Cork). All are for Bartholomew however
