I thought that was a link - that’s how I got there.
I know it’s posted differently - not as obvious- but it serves the purpose.

Your links look very useful  :)

Ellen O'Connor married Thomas Ahearn in 1897 father Daniel a victualler
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1897/10457/5808308.pdf

I tried to find her in the census to check her age but couldn't find her.
There is a birth in 1875 Lower Athea father Daniel is a famer, I wonder if Daniel could have changed jobs.

Need to check earlier births in case she was an older bride.


Ah found her in the Census
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Limerick/Abbeyfeale/Abbeyfeale_Town/1506948/
aged 27 so born about 1873/74/75

Not sure about that Ellen birth and was looking at the names she gave her children
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Limerick/Abbeyfeale/Abbeyfeale_Town/635593/
And I thought Bridget looked more likely for her mother.
Than I found this family with mother Bridget O'Connor retired shopkeeper
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Limerick/Abbeyfeale/Abbeyfeale_Town/635705/
Than looked for her marriage

Thank you for your response and searches!  I know this is not of much use to anyone but me :-)  but after all these years chasing the O'Connors with a lot of frustration and thinking I will never find them etc
 I was telling my nephew  today where the family was from he told me I've been there!  He told me he and his son played a football tournament I think a year or so ago. What's the chance of a 3/4 great grandsons ending up in the village of your ancestor's by shear chance cheers little annie
