Hi, my great grandfather was John Mahoney. He was born in in Limerick and married a Mary McCarthy or McCarty, and emigrated to Australis. They were married in a small town named Abington. On 17 September 1855. So I guess he may have been born around 1830. Could anyone help me to trace when he was born and where. I have a copy of the marriage certificate, but it does not have many details. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I searched on Roots Ireland from 1830-1840 and found one John Mahoney baptismal record in Murroe Boher Abington parish. Transcription below. Since you don't know his parents names, I would treat this record as a lead. Here is a link to the parish register if you want to search further for siblings etc. http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0237

Hi Roger. Many thanks for your kind help, it is greatly appreciated. I logged into the address that you gave, and it came up with registers 0258. 1 and 2. How do I get to register 0237. God Bless. Terry Mahoney
Terry,
open the link that Roger sent you - click on Baptisms - click on Filter events/dates. In the dropdown boxes select the appropriate choices and click on apply. That should get you to the right page - any queries you can email me at jimvaughan@eircom.net
Hi Jim. Many thanks for your kind help. It did work. God Bless. Terry
If my great grandfather was baptised on 18 Sept 1830' then my great, great grandfather must have been born around 1800. His name was John Mahoneu or Mahoney and his wife was Mary née Cormack. How do I find his baptism certificate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and God Bless. Terry Mahoney Melbourne Australia.
Could someone please help me. Have a great Easter. Kind Regards, Terry Mahoney
Hello Terry!
The records for Murroe-Boher/Abington start in 1814 http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0237 Probably too late for your John. I did find two records in Limerick city in 1803 and 1804 which are below. John Mahoney/Mahony was a very common name and unless you know his parents names, it would be difficult to confirm any record you locate.
