Louis,

No clues as yet after looking for the past quarter hour. Found a
birth for a child:

COHEN, James KempCB 381594 Birth
Sex:MaleFather:Henry

Sorry, also found his death.
COHEN, JamesCD 166042 Death
Sex:Male

Henry and Ann really wanted a son called James:

COHEN, JamesCB 381587 Birth
Sex:MaleFather:Henry
Mother:U Mary
Event Date:28 Feb 1824
Reg Year:1824Reg State:Tasmania

Interestingly, the only other birth at the time was another James
who was born to a James and Catherine:
COHEN, JamesEB 381585 Christening <--- Died in 1825
Father:James
Mother:Catherine
Reg Year:1824Reg State:New South Wales
Ref Number:V1824485 125Parish:Sydney, St Mary's, Roman
Catholic

(Maybe Henry was related to James COHEN snr)

How old was your Henry COHEN. Surely he wasn't 63 and 65 when
the above Jameses were born???

And could this be your Mary COHEN (nee UNKNOWN)
