Breen family

Cork

I am looking for information about my grandmother's ancesters. Her maternal granfather's name was Daniel Breen. He was married to Mary Dwyer. They had a son -  Denis Breen, born 12/25/1846 and a daughter - Anna Breen, born 9/3/1851 in Cork, Ireland. They immigrated to the United States before the mid 1870s. Denis remained in New York, Anna married James Danaher, born 1843 Limerick, Ireland, on 8/13/1876 in Manhattan, NY. They moved to the state of Iowa, and then to Nebraska, where my grandmother was born. She was the yougest child.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I searched on two sites: the subscription site Roots Ireland and the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie ; and did nto find any records for the marriage of Daniel Breen and Mary Dwyer or baptismal records for children of the couple in Co. Cork.

I did find the baptismal record below in Co. Limerick. I did not find a record for Denis or the marriage record.

Is it possible the family was from Limerick but left from Co. Cork?
