Hello Liz. . .
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out . . . to Tipperary County . . .
Using ..Ancestry and Roots (paid) . . . I found the following ( see below )
_____________________________________________________
James . . appears to be born ..11th May 1850 . . in BANSHA. Co.Tipperary . . to Michael and Hanna Brien
you can access the original R.C. Church . . recording . . . at . . . https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0245
( use the " Filter Events " . . top left . . )

See MAP of Bansha below . . .

I searched for the " Marriage " of Michael and Hanna . . . circa 1848 . . +/- 10 yrs. . . . Nothing . .
This is a bit strange . . that they should have recorded James's Baptism . . . but NOT the marriage . .
so . . I searched . . ALL Ireland . . . still nothing . . .

A TAX Roll . . from 1847 - 1863 . . . " Griffiths Valuations " . . . http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml?action=doNameSearch&Submit.x=55&Submit.y=10&familyname=Hynes&firstname=First+Name&baronyname=&countyname=TIPPERARY%2C+SOUTH+RIDING&unionname=&parishname=
