I think as many of the answers along with information you have already recieved is don't get tied up in detail and finding PoB before you find each and every record you can and all the information contained in each and everyone of those records....and for Irish records things that are important are the jobs they did, maybe who they worked for ( eg transfered from Ireland by the landowner they worked for who had a job available in England for them) their religion, the naming patterns of any children they had.... their marriage certificate is a key record you need to purchase, which will give their fathers names ( hopefully their real names) the witnesses and you can then research more about those people to see if they are 'visiting' from Ireland friends/family, it 'could' give you a clue when you eventually start looking at Irish records
As Elwyn said about the spelling it was irrelevant back 200 yrs ago many people didn't read/write and so records were written by other people and words formed how they sounded, spelling didn't become important until the majority of people could read/write ( and check how their name was spelt) , sociality had increased in numbers and we all had to fill out forms and that wasn't until later in the 20th century...we are deeply offended now if someone spells our name wrong, back 200 plus years it really wasn't important
