    Owen's birth is under Carrickmacross.
    You can search for it on https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp

    Thanks, I have that but can’t seem to find any info on who James’s parents may have been.

    The 1874 birth's father's name looks more like Owen than James.

    You may need to manage your expectations. The father on this birth is a labourer, which probably means he was unskilled and didn't have any land himself. You just need to work through all the possible records for them. Find other kids, see what his occupation was on that.

    eldest child I found born to the couple in civil records a Margaret McConnon 14th April 1864, so Owen and Margaret would probably have married before the start of civil records.

    Roots Ireland have a transcription of Church Marriage Record in 1858 from Parish/District Donaghmoyne of Owen McConnon and Margaret Hanlon. Address for both is Donaghmoyne. Notes state no exact marriage date given.
