Could this be the marriage?

It seems a long time between the marriage date and the children's births, but it's the only marriage I can find with the right names and in the right place.
But who knows - perhaps there were several miscarriages before John was born.

Of course, it may not be the right marriage. You can't tell from that which woman married which man.

Would I be able to send for this cert just to make sure
Thank you

Yes - see this link:

It'll cost £15.

BUT-
You would have to give the full names of the married couple, so you'd be taking a chance that this particular Michael Galvin married Mary Flynn and not one of the other women on the list.
If it was one of the others, I don't know what would happen - whether you'd have lost the £15 or not!

for advice.

Thank you Iwill take a chance its the nearest I have gotten

There were 6 other children with the surname Galvin born in Corrofin from 1922 onwards, besides the three you mentioned. Maybe earlier children of Michael and Mary? The dates are possible. As with the other three, no parents' names listed.

Name: James Patrick Galvin
Birth: Mar 1922 - Corrofin

Name: Thomas Christopher Galvin
Birth: Mar 1924 - Corrofin

Name: William Galvin
Birth: Mar 1925 - Corrofin

Name: Mary Galvin
Birth: Jun 1926 - Corrofin

Name: Michael Galvin
Birth: Sep 1928 - Corrofin

Name: Anna M Galvin
Birth: Sep 1933 - Corrofin

This could be Michael's brother Tom:

Name: John Thomas Galvin
Birth: Sep 1908 - Corrofin

I don't see a birth record for Michael himself, assuming he was born in Corrofin, though there are ten Galvin children listed as being born in Corrofin between 1889 and 1908 - probably not all from the same family.

tHANK YOU I WAS TOLD THERE WERE 10 CHILDREN BUT I COULD ONLY FIND 3
