From RootsIreland:
Marriage: 24-Feb-1886
Parish (rc): Ballyferriter, Co. Kerry
Thomas Fitzgerald Mary Currane
Witness: John Duhig
You can see the civil marriage record here: https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1886/10832/5950854.pdf
It shows that Thomas was a widower; his father, John, was deceased. Both were carpenters.
Mary’s father, James, was a labourer.
They married in the church in Ferriterin the Registrar’s District of Ventry, Union of Dingle, Co. Kerry.
Mary lived in Ballydavid, Thomas in Bally… (not clear to me)
Nicholas's baptism/birth are not on RootsIreland, but you should be able to see them at irishgenealogy.ie.
I hope this is helpful.
