Matthew Mulcahy, Newgrove, Whitechurch to Mary Lyons
Nov. 25 1862
Witnesses: John Byrne, John Lyons
Celebrant: W. Daly, C.C.
Newgrove is nearby, though not officially a townland. It is part of Slievedothia also in Whitechurch.
Whitechurch is a civil parish, recognised by the state as a unit of territory. It is part of the Catholic parish of Blarney. It is most likely the marriage and the first two baptisms took place in Whitechurch church, while that of Denis took place in Blarney (Waterloo) - there was no Catholic church in Blarney village until 1894.

Quote from Maisie to Eily: Mick Mulcahy married in the USA wife supposed to have money she died and he married her sister who was well off as well. She died. After that he came back to Ireland met another woman there married her and took her back to Boston with him.
He also had a sister in Boston.
The other brother was named John married Annie.
Foreman on the railroad - Maisie
I think Maisie has got Michael and Thomas mixed up. I have found Thomas in LIC Queens NY and he married two girls whose mothers had the same maiden name and then married Mary Mulcahy nee Scully who was the sister of Jeremiah's Mulcahy (Thomas' brother) wife Catherine Scully. I have a Whitechurch burial entry for a Michael. [3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12]
