looking for Catherine Barrett

CorkTempletrine (Cork)

I'm looking for information on Catherine Barrett, b.1864, married Anthony Clifford (b.1858) in County Cork in 1880.

They were Roman Catholics and likely got married in the area of Catherine's parents.

Baptism records in the area show her parents could be John Barrett & Johanna Moore or Patrick Barrett & Anna Cantilan. Baptized Mitchelstown District, Cork, Ireland.

Would love help identifying a loca Catholic church in the area, or possible location of a marriage record. Catherine was 16 yrs old when married and immigrated to the US almost immediately.

Any idea what city they would have immigrated to? what was popular at the time? They settled in Avoca, PA, 1st son born, Martin (Anthony's fathers name) b Dec 1880.

Any help or suggestions would be great.
