Children;William Alfred b 1856
               Anne b 1858
               Lorn b ?
               Hazel b ?
               Robin b ?
               Louisa b 1869.

Any help much appreciated.

Where in Co. Cork did the marriage take place ?

Most of the births are before the start of civil records in 1864, so you will need to check for baptisms, which require knowing the parish, and denomination. (Since the marriage seems to be registered then it's non-Catholic..)

Maybe start the search with Louisa to try to narrow down the location...

see :  Introduction to Irish Records

not sure if this fits - but the parents names match with a little variation ...an RC baptism in St. Finbarr's RC , Cork City for an Anne Thornell on 13th Dec 1859 with parents John Thornell and Margt. Moore.. see : link    (IrishGenealogy.ie)

Maybe it was a mixed marriage and some children were baptized RC and others CofI ?

That is the details i have from IGI
On Williams Marriage Certificate it says the following;
William  as Laborer  aged 28  residing at Longbush Invercargill born Cork, Ireland.  His  Parents  are John Thornhill  a Clerk  and  Margaret Thornhill  maiden surname Moore.
Sorry all i have is Cork. I thought the Civil Registration bit may have been important so included it.

That marriage definitely helps your search but this type of extracted record doesnt include all the details that would be on the cert or register.

   https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FG62-2C9

A civil marriage cert would show the name of the church or registry office, and also should include residences for the bride and groom, father's names & occupations, names of two witnesses and name of the priest/minister/registrar.

These look like the index details in case you wish to order a cert :

  Name: John Thornhill
  Registration district:   Cork
  Event type: Marriage
  Year: 1855
  Volume: 4 / Page: 538

A Margaret Moore is listed on the Index with the same references.

Cork registration district covers the city but also quite a wide area of the county - e.g. towns such as Watergrasshill, Glanmire, Queenstown(Cobh), Blarney etc
