Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I presume your great-grandparents were RC. If they were married in Lavey parish, records for that parish start very late (1867). Can you clarify when Patrick and Eliza married? Thanks!

Still can't locate a church or civil marriage record for Patrick and Eliza. I did find the five civil birth records which you may have. They all show Mullamagavin instead of Mullymagowan. There are many, many Smith/Smyth households in the 1901 census but none seem to fit your family. I will try and look for death recorfs for the parents.
