Hello Hurworth:
Birth info: Source 1 : 1851 census England:F.M.P.
 Parish:Woolwich St Marys: borough: Greenwich,Town :Woolwich
Benjamin Corcoran crossed out then Corconan,Head,Mar, 27, Army Horse Artillery Gunner,born On Sea, B.subjt   (should be Bernard) with right wife & kids
       
Birth Source 2: British Army Service Records 1760-1915 Transcription:F.M.P
First name(s)BERNARD    Last name CORCORAN
Birth year 1824   Birth parish Birth town  CORK Birth county CORK Birth country IRELAND Service number-
Rank DRIVER Regiment Royal Horse & Field Artillery

That is a possible birth you found as one of his daughters was named Hannah (maybe after Mum). Entry looks like it says Bernard of Bryan Corcran & Hannah Crawford= wm?? Chawnor? & Ann Hogan? do you think?
His children were named John 1847, Elizabeth Louisa 1849, Hannah 1851, Alfred 1854, Sophia 1857 all but John born England John baptised Dublin army records.

Actually looking again at army discharge pages it helps give a more accurate birth date for Bernard:
FINAL DESCRIPTION:
of Driver Bernard Corcoran of the Battn of Royal Horse or Corps Artillery when discharged the service at Woolwich this 13th day of April 1852.
Age: 28 years 28 days = Born abt Mar 1824

& also Rank DRIVER Regiment Royal Horse & Field Artillery
Document Type Discharge
Attestation year 1838
Attestation Day 17
Attestation Month 8
Attestation age years 14
Attestation age months 7
Discharge Corps ROYAL HORSE ARTILLERY 
= Jan 1824
So looking very likely now that birth was Jan-Mar 1824 from 2 sources. Thanks hurworth really useful!

How can i do a search for his wife Mary the same way that you did for Bernard. I have just been on the NLI site but it does not allow to search by name. All I know was that she was born 1828 in Cork maiden name Fitzgerald and her family had money? But without knowing the catholic parish I'm stuck.
Any help much appreciated.

Thank you for the website merrick7.   I didn't know about it, and it's better than the searchable indices on FindMyPast or Ancestry because you can search for witnesses/sponsors.

Keep in mind that site only covers the Dioceses of Cork and Ross so doesn't cover all of Cork.
Click on the Show Dioceses or Show Counties in blue and you can see the parts of the county covered by Cork and Ross and the other Diocese Cloyne.
