Misc. Notes
Richard was probably still alive in 1857, when named as the father of Henry Johnson, in Henry’s marriage record (i.e., it did not reference Richard as deceased at that time). [108] Also, his wife, Jane, was reported as a widow at her death, so Richard must have died before 25 Jun 1889. [7410]

Other possible spellings to consider: JOHNSONE, JONSON, JOHNSTON (the most common spelling in Ireland), JOHNSTONE, JONSTON.
Johnson, MacShane, Johnsone, Joynson, Jonson, McChane, M'Shane, McShan, McShain, McSheane

Richard is not known to be Catholic (but could be), but there was a Richard Johnson baptized 31-DEC-1800 at St Finbarr's (South), Cork City. Father was Spencer William Johnson and mother was Honora (possibly Hannah or Nora) Welsh. Ancestry.com. Ireland, Catholic Parish Registers, 1655-1915. The index claims birth year was 1800 but the actual record does not say that. Based on Richard’s age at death, he was born ca. 1797, so if that is his baptism record, it would represent a 3-year delay. Not sure what the average time from birth to baptism was then.

Note that this cemetery has both Roman Catholic and Protestant burials.
They also have St.Josephs_Cemetery but 1875 is only in hardcopy.

, Jane BERRY would have been a rather old mother when they were born (Kate: 1855, Co. Cork; Lydia: 1866, Co. Limerick). But if their ages in 1911 (more than 10 years older in that census) are more accurate, then it is more possible that Jane was their mother (Kate: 1845, Lydia: 1859). Also, 1901 & 1911 names a grand niece of Kate, named Mary Elizabeth PULLAR (b.ca. 1897, Cork City). Note that both Kate and Lydia were still single as of 1911. Mary might have married Peter Joseph SEWELL or Francis Rudolph PIENS, 1930 Dec Qtr., Cork. vol. 5, p.45
Based on “Ireland, Casey Collection Indexes, 1545-1960” (chapter 6: Baptisms, Parish of Mallow, Church of Ireland, Baronies of Fermoy and Duhallow, Diocese of Cloyne, County of Cork, 1863-1965, vol. 14, image 130, original p.#399) it was SEWELL and they may have had a child, Richard Andrew SEWELL b.22 MAY 1936, Railway Cottage N. Mallow, bap.13-JUN-1936. Peter was a “ganger.”

See http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/C...y/Doughcloyne/383278/
for the 1911 census.
