Found one on NA.

http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C8767074

Then using the alias on another website I get:

Cornelius    Reardon    Born 1801    Service Number 406    54th Regt Of Foot    Cork.

Edit: Found the service record on the other website too.
There was probably more than 1 of that name as well. He's a bit young, younger than Honora. I know they could marry very young then. He's a possible.

I'll order the National Archive entry now.

Now to see if I can find any other information to verify the Honora Lion baptism... what are your thoughts Maiden Stone?

Re post #64  Cornelius Reardon. If that was the one who was father of Michael Riordan, Honora's son, then either they didn't marry or Honora was a bigamist when she married John Marlow. That's providing she married John. Since Michael was Riordan in baptism register I'd assume his parents were married. Or else they lied to the priest. Was what you posted of Michael's baptism (about 3 pages ago) a transcript? If so, you need to see image of baptism register. I once found a batch of baptism transcripts from an Irish Catholic parish in which the transcriber had misinterpreted them and transcribed each child with the mother's maiden name.  ???

The transcript seems to be fine but take a look too if you want please in case I've missed something? Can I upload as I've paid for the copy?

Michael's parents were married according to the baptism register.

Die 21 Januari 1816 Baptizatus fuit Michael
On the  21st day of Jan. 1816 was baptised Michael

filius Cornelii Riordan + Honora (Lyne conj)*
son of Cornelius Riordan + Honor (Lyne married)

natus fuit die 14th Januari 1816
 (who) was born 14th day of Jan. 1816

Patrini Riordan fuere
Godparents of Riordan were

Dionysius Lynch + Joanna Harrington
Dionysius Lynch + Joan/Jane/Joanna Harrington

A me Ed Norris
by me Ed Norris

* conj. is abbreviation for conjugam, married.
Dionysius in Ireland is I think Jeremiah in everyday life, but I may be wrong.

As they were married then Cornelius should have died sometime between 1815 when Michael was conceived and 1819 when Honorora''s daughter by John Marlow was born in Cork. (Are we sure that a) daughter Honora/Hanora was born in Cork 1819 + b) that she was a child of the marriage to John Marlow? (Hanora b. Cork 1819 was mentioned in an early post, I noticed it when I read from the beginning today.) If Cornelius didn't die then Honora either was a bigamist or didn't marry John Marlow.
Spellcheck is working again. It's queried most of the Latin words.  ;D
