The Irish Census of 1821 (free online) doesn't have Cork records!
The Tithe Applotments (free online titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/ which have 342 Roches in Cork but only this one in Castletown
RocheJamesCastletownCastletownrocheCork - no year given but most were 1825-34; there are also 10 Thomases
www.irishgenealogy.ie/ (select church records) is good for Cork records if you haven't already tried there.
I suspect you've tried there but the Natnl Library has the R C registers free to search and has Castletownroche baptisms & marriages from 1811
Was Castletownroche named after the Roches I wonder?

ColCaff, thank you so much! So there must be different records at roofsireland.ie? Did you have to pay to search for this record? I was using Find My Past and I do know about the National Library records. Yes, Castletownroche gets its name from the Roche family.
I’m also looking for a son named Patrick Roche

Hi again Col! I have no idea how you found Thomas Roche and Honora Leahy marriage record LOL! Is there a special way to search on rootsireland? I searched Roch and spouse Leahy and I get nothing
Never mind Col! I was looking on the wrong website
