Civil registration of births in Ireland started in 1864 so it's likely that only the children highlighted might have birth registrations- middle names might also help with later searches.
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VBXG-KDR

Samuel Thomas (c1859)
William John (c1861)
James John (c1863)
Ann Jane Elizabeth (c1865)
Mary Martha (c1868)


Birth certificates for any of the children born in Ireland will show mother's maiden name which will help you confirm any Irish births found. Once you have Mary's maiden name you can then search for her marriage in Ireland to James McCormack (civil registration of non-Catholic marriages began in 1845).
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

The GRONI website:

https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk/

has the marriage of a James McCormick and Mary Beck on 11 February 1858 and registered in Armagh.  A possibility.

@ Leprechaun,  big families were the order of the day at that time and an insurance against the Poorhouse for the parents, the names don't look particularly Catholic to me?

Skoosh.

Thank you glensman and Aghadowey very kind of you to help.
         I had been on family search but other eyes are a big help.

In have had a further look on GRONI for some of the births mentioned in Aghadowey's post.  I can see the birth of Ann McCormack on 29 April 1864 registered in Armagh with mother's maiden name Duff.  So the marriage details I posted do not seem to be of the same family as those posted by Aghadowey.  A bit more work needed.
