Welcome to Rootschat. If you've found a census entry, etc. it helps to post the link in your post to save us from looking for information you've already found.
The 1911 census asked a married woman how many years married as well as how many children/how many children living. In this case the answer is married 40 years- so c1871:

However, I found a birth in 1866 for a child to a John Kelleher & Mary Dineen in Cork:

other possible children-
Hannah (1864) https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FRW5-T53
Bridget (1868) https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FPYL-98P
Mary (1870) https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FPK8-2MS
Margaret (1871) https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FPK8-2MS
Hugh (1872) https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FG57-R8J
Johanna (1875) https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FGZK-Y58
If these are all the same family then it looks like the marriage actually took place before 1864 in which case you'll need to search for a church record of the marriage.

Thank you for replying :) yes this is the same family ,I have spent weeks searching for the marriage ,which churches should I check?
-
Thanks Tara :)

I don't know Cork that well.
Is Macroom the nearest to where the family are on the census ?

I don't know Cork well either (I'm at the opposite end of Ireland) but checking online-
Lisboy Beg townland is in Macroom Poor Law Union/Registration District & Kilnamartery civil parish.
North West Cork is the correct area- but there's a Catholic Parish of Kilnamartyra marching Macroom which might be worth checking.

I've checked the kilnamartery micro film for marriages between 1850 to 1863 and can't find anything ,really don't know where to go from here :(
-
Just checked the macroom micro film too and can't seem to find anything ,thanks to everyone who have replied I guess I need to dig a bit deeper, this side of my family have been the most difficult to trace,it's my grandmothers side of the family :)
