Dear OzzieJoan
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Have you had a look at familysearch.org or rootsireland.ie to see if you can find any record of James and Ann?
On the latter site for example, there is one baptism record for a James Woods born between 1810 and 1820. This is a subscription site, so I am limited in what I can see. As there is only one record, it might be a good idea to have a look. I think it costs ?5 to view a record. One thing to consider though, is that we do not know James? parents? names so it would be difficult to say for sure if this is your James or not. They may have both been born and married in a parish and at a time that predates the parish records.
Have a look and let me know what you think
Best wishes
