Edward's age clearly given as 69- civil registration of births didn't start until 1864 so there will be no birth certificate for him. Civil registration of Catholic marriages began 1864 also (from 1845 for non-Catholic ones) but you can see if church registers survive.

Hi I have looked on the link you sent for me but there are no Edward Behan marriages that would fit date wise wi5h children’s age as it would have to be before 1868ish

To get the name of Edward's wife you can look up birth certificates for any children born after 1864. That way you'll hopefully be able to find the marriage.

Hi I think she is Mary Connolly
I am looking through the church records for Edwards birth at the moment but some of the writing is hard to read

Best to go back one step at a time to avoid tracing the wrong person/family.

Edward's marriage might list his parents' names or other details which could help find his baptism.
