Val:
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I checked Roots Ireland and found the parents marriage in 1825. There were also baptismal records for the children you mention plus I found a Helen and did not locate the record for Bridget although there was one record with no name. I also checked the 1849 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Lismore and Mocollop ciivl parish and did not see Edward/Edmund. Maybe the family had left for America or possibly Edward was a small farmer who rented land from another farmer.
You could add Edward's story to our XO Chronicles site https://www.irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/ancestor-dat…
Have you considered autosomal DNA testing?
Let me know if you have any questions.
