The only marriage I can see for a James Hanna with a father Thomas was on 29 Feb 1892 (a leap year!!) as follows;

Church of Ireland - Drum Cofl? Parish
James Hanna, over 21, Foreman Builder
Father Thomas Hanna, Land Steward

to

Elizabeth Jane Morrison
Castlebar, over 21
Father Hugh Morrison
Retired Head Constable

Witnesses W B Carney and Maria Beckett

So this may NOT be your James if his wife was named Marion.

That was quick! Thanks everyone. This is looking like a 2nd marriage for James.

Yes - the 1911 census provided corresponds with the 1901 when he's a Widower and a Methodist -- and also with the occupation of Foreman Builder at his first marriage to Elizabeth Jane Morrison.
