1. John (Joseph) Joice June 23 1816 in Cork City Cork Ireland (St-Mary church Cork and Ross Diocese)

2. Mary Joice May 191808 in Cork City Cork Ireland (St. Finbarr Church Cork and Ross Diocese)

3. Julia Joyce Jan 121815 in Cork City Cork Ireland (St-Mary church Cork and Ross Diocese)

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I assume you used the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie to search for records. I just did a search and could not find a marriage 1808 or earlier on the site. There were three churches in Cork city at the time: St. Finbarrs, St. Marys and Sts. Peter and Paul. St. Finbarrs and St. Marys appear to have marriage records in the period prior to 1808. Sts. Peter and Paul have a gap in marriage records from October 1803 until 1809 and I'm wondering if the marriage occurred in Sts. Peter and Paul during the gap period. For your information, below are links to the parish registers for the three churches:

Yes I did a search of these places with no luck.  John and Mary migrated to Quebec city Quebec Canada between 1816 and 1821 since another child was born there in 1821 (he died a couple of days later).  On the birth and death document of this child, it is mentioned that John worked as a baker.  John (Joseph) Joice 1816 is my ancestor.
