Mark:
I located their March 1 1903 marriage record. No image is available just a transcription of the record. Samuel G. O'Dell was a sergeant in the Army and stationed at Cork Barracks. He was a widower. His father's name was also Samuel G. who was also a soldier.
Anne Coughlan was from Kinsale and her father was Patrick Coughlan who was a fisherman.
Both were at least age 21.
One of the witnesses was a Mary Ellen Coughlan possibly a sister to Anne.
They had a son Samuel George born in 1904. See third record at the link.
I don't see any other birth records anywhere in Ireland thru 1911 which to me indicates that Samuel had another posting outside of Ireland after 1904.
