Both are church records, parish of Tralee, Co Kerry, Ireland:-
16 June 1831 marriage to Mary Kerrisk.
20 January 1836 marriage to Mary Evans.
Except for the names, I can't read anything on either register entry. The 1831 entry is on top of the right hand page. The 1836 entry is a bit more than halfway down the page (I couldn't post the copies as the files were too large).

Can anybody make these out. Is it the same Standish O'Grady?

Hard to say, I'd look for baptisms of children to the first couple after the second couple married, that would tell if they were two different men.

That idea isn't working out too well

I see the register is very hard to read so unless some of the transcribers on other sites had more luck.

16 June 1831
I, J.G.McE: (= initials of the priest), assisted in the marriage of Standish B. O’Grady & Mary Kerrisk, cath:* of Tralee
(witnesses) Maurice OBrinan(?) & Mary McCarthy

20 January 1836
I, Edm: FitzMa(...), assisted in the marriage of Standish O’Grady & Mary Evans, cath:* of Tralee
(witnesses) Maurice Collins & Catharine O’Sullivan

===

As the 1831 marriage shows the groom with the middle initial B., I wouldn’t assume they’re the same person. Bennett(?) appears to be pencilled above the name in the margin, which may relate to that middle initial?

* I’m not sure if Cath: is describing the spouses as Catholics, or is referencing the Catholic church of Tralee. Other entries on the page have Cath: ch. Other people may have a view on that.
