Possibly the father, James, pre-marriage in Tipp.

Cheers, that is just what I wanted, confirmation that he was son of James & Elizabeth of Bohercrowe. I will look for his marriage record.

Many thanks

Yep, I had the marriage record and some of the children's birth records. I didn't know about John.
I already had death details of James & Elizabeth & some of their children.

Thanks again.

Just looked at his age - 31 years old so should have been born 1912/13, the only son for this couple showing on Irish Genealogy at that time was James. Maybe he had 2 names James John or else a transcription error.
