These are my great-grandparents & I'm trying to find their marriage details so as to find their birth details.
She died 8 October 1910 & he died 19 Feb 1940 (having remarried). He was aged 26 on 1901 census, 36 on 1911 census & 64 on death cert. She was aged 30 on death cert. All events Rathkeale, Co Limerick.
Any leads?

1901 census shows Patrick OShea, age 26, unmarried-

When was their first child born?

Patrick O'SHEA with sons Christopher and Patrick on 1911 census LINK (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Limerick/Rathkeale_Urban/Main_Street__Contd__/641632/)
at 44 in Main Street, Rathkeale Urban, Limerick
Christopher James O'SHEA b. Dec 25 1907 LINK (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1908/01661/1662300.pdf) #117

Second marriage to Johanna MacKESSY Jul 28 1914 LINK (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1914/09860/5581373.pdf)
noting his father's name was also Patrick for referencing purposes
-
Patrick O'SHEA and Mary O'CONNOR also had a daughter
Ellen Ita O'SHEA on Feb 09 1905 LINK (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1905/01790/1702801.pdf) #306
She died Jul 06 1906 aged 1 of Dipthemlia Croup LINK (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1906/05551/4557477.pdf) #303
This would place a marriage earlier than 1905 logically
-
It is possible that this is Mary O'CONNOR and her siblings on the 1901 census LINK (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Limerick/Rathkeale_Urban/Main_Street/1512906/=)
at 41 in Main Street (Rathkeale Urban, Limerick)
Patrick O'SHEA was at #48
I think that their parents were Joseph O'CONNOR and Catherine AMBROSE who married in Newcastle West, Co. Limerick on Jan 12 1869 and had at least eight children
Bridget bap.Nov 11 1869
Ellen bap.Nov 01 1871
Katherine b.Oct 27 1875; bap. Oct 27 1875
Mary b.Feb 02 1877; bap.Feb 03 1877
Joseph b.Sep 17 1878; bap.Sep 19 1878
Patrick b.Jun 02 1880; bap.Jun 02 1880
Thomas b.Oct 23 1881; bap.?
Annie b.Sep 04 1884; bap. Sep 06 1884
Joseph O'CONNOR died Dec 05 1899 informant son Thomas

Thanks myluck,
I'd say No to the Mary O'Connor at 41 Main Street Rathkeale as she was still alive and unmarried on the 1911 census (age 32).
I think I have Patricks birth - 22 July 1875 - Patrick Shea. His father Patrick is later described as a shoemaker, so I'm fairly confident on that one.
The marriage & Mary's birth remain unsolved.

The church in Rathkeale may be able to check their registers for you to see if there was a Church marriage that may not be civil registered. Their records are only to 1876 on line
