I searched the Irish Family History Foundation's database.
It contains 11,500,000 surviving rcds for abt 60% of Irish counties. Rcds B4 1840 are sparse.
For the Fleming surname, there are 8,980 B (dating from 1707) and 4,907 M (dating from 1676) rcds in the database.
Timothy is a rare forename. For Timothy Fleming (+variants) B 1828 +/- 4 yrs, I found two B rcds: 1824 Limerick and 1828 Galway.
For Mary Mooney (+variants) B 1832 +/- 4 yrs, I found 84 B rcds, 9 in either Limerick or Galway.
For a Timothy & Mary M 1854 +/- 4 yrs, I found 48 M rcds for Mary. For Timothy, I found 0 rcds. There are only 3 M rcds for "Timothy Fleming" in all ireland for all yrs. The closest to this range is in 1841, Limerick. The other 2 are in: 1738 Dublin, and 1874 Mayo.
For Thomas Fleming B 1855 (exact), I found 3 rcd: 2-Mayo, 1-Kilkenny.
For Michael Fleming B 1857 (exact), I found 7 B rcds: Galway, 2-Cork, Offaly, Tipperary, Kilkenny & Limerick.
For Margaret Fleming B 1863 (exact), I found 5 B rcds: Down, Roscommon, 2-Tipperary, & Mayo.
For Patrick Fleming B 1865 (exact), I found 11 B rcds: 5-Mayo, 4-Galway, Tipperary & Cavan.
Because I can't find M rcds for Timothy, anywhere, anytime, I conclude the M event wasn't rcd'd, rcd didn't survive, or is in the mass of undigitized data. At this late date, the last is most likely. This is supported by the fact that I can't find a common county of birth for the children much less a parish.
Suggest you google the Foundation's name to take you to its database. Register, opt to be notified as rcds are added, and browse (free). I suspect you will find your ancestors in the Co. Cork (south & east) rcds which haven't been digitized. It may be a long wait for this to happen as no organization has been created to do this.
Sorry I couldn't be of more immediate help.
