Searching for info and/or relatives. Mary Dowd b. 1829 married William Harrington abr 1829. There children were baptised in the church in Ballinameen, Roscommon. My great aunt also wrote down Boyle and I have seen Elphin on a few records as well - although I'm not sure the significance of Elphin, I know Boyle is a larger town/city not far from Ballinameen.
Three of their daughters emmigrated to the US: Catherine, Rose and Sara. I believe they had at least one son William.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Janet:
William and Mary had at least nine children based on records I located on the subscription site Roots Ireland: Peter 1851 Mary 1853 Margaret 1856 Edward 1858 Catherine 1861 Sara 1865 William 1867 Rose 1871 Patrick 1874 The civil records for Rose and Patrick showed a townland of Acres which is in the civil parish of Kilmacumsy. The 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing also showed a William Harrington in Acres.
I did not locate the marriage record but possibly it was in Ballinameen RC parish which does not have marriage records back to 1850.
The RC parish of Ballinameen was south of Boyle and northwest of Elphin. Also, the diocese in most of Co. Roscommon is the Diocese of Elphin. https://www.elphindiocese.ie/
William died in 1884 (see last record)
