I'm looking to find more info on Andrew Richard Ashe, born in 1830 in Tralee. He married Johanna Ashe born in Ireland (same last name) in Worcester, Massachusetts, but it's possible this record was just registering their marriage and they had in fact married in Ireland. Andrew's parents were Richard Ashe and Margaret Shea and Johanna's were Michael Ashe and Johanna Griffin. I'd love to know more about the family in Tralee if anyone has info.
I've attached an old newspaper clipping about Andrew. Note the article calls him Andrew M. Ashe, but everything I have says Andrew Richard Ashe.

No sign that I could find of a baptism for your Andrew, but I was able to locate a baptism of a brother Michael Ash baptised on the 11th of November 1831 in Annascaul Catholic Parish (aka Ballinvoher, Camp and Lac etc), to parents Richard Ash & Margaret Shea living at Ardinan townland. Annascual/Ballinvoher parish is adjacent and to the west of the parish of Tralee.
An image of the register showing the baptism details is available on the National Library of Ireland website - see the 2nd entry for November on the right hand page. The father's name is shown as Ricardo, latin for Richard and this has been mistranscribed by both FindMyPast and Ancestry as 'Mick', they both have the date as 11th October 1831, instead of the correct November date.
The baptism and marriage records for the parish go back to 1829 - maybe your Andrew was slightly older than the US records suggest, and therefore baptised before the available records.

Awesome. Thanks! Any idea how I'd figure out where Ardinan townload would have been? I tried googling but didn't find anything.

The residence is not very clear - but does appear to to start with Ard... the most likely match is the townland of Ardrinane townland which is in Ballynacourty civil parish, one of the two civil parishes covered by the Catholic parish of Ballinvoher/Annascaul, the second being the civil parish of Ballinvoher.
The best site for locating townlands in the Placename database of Ireland at www.logainm.ie - this is the entry for Ardrinane townland, and there are entries for the two civil parishes in Lewis Topographical Dictionary of 1837 - Ballinvohir and Ballynacourty/Ballinacourty
