Could this be John in 1901? with grandmother Bridget. Considering the names Bridget, Catherine and Johanna appearing in more than one generation its possible.

Thank you now if you were able to find  her Marriage certificate and the name was Patrick that would be a high possibility or John birth certificate

Great find

I have found a marriage certificate for Maryanne McCoy, then O'Connor who married James Hayes in 1902. 
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1902/10295/5747444.pdf

(She may have slightly altered her age so as not to be older than her husband)

Then a 17 year John Joseph O'Connor living with them as a step son, to James Hayes,  in the 1911 census.

J J O'Connor is shown as a scholar at that time with a birth in Limerick City.  The earlier 1901 census shows the McCoy and O'Connor family al being born at St Michaels Limerick. Possibly meaning baptised there.

Thank you. I do think your on to something. My doubt is with the wedding cert as Mary shower as a spinster and if previously  married to O'Connor that  would appear as her name? I have been looking for a Patrick O'Connor marrying MaryAnne Mc Coy but nothing.
