Hi Denis

Thank you for posting your information. It can be helpful to our volunteers if you post what sources you have already used in your search. You can check for information about the frequency of the Surname in the mid-19th century and any other variant spellings of the name here:

Considering you know the parish that Ellen and Daniel were married in, it could be worthwhile to do further search of the records for other relatives that may have been baptised or married in that church:

You could try checking the land records called the Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38) http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp  or the later Griffith's Valuation (1848-64) http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/     or the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS) https://familysearch.org/        

The Tithe Applotment List might be of use to you, or at least interesting for you. These lists constitute the only nationwide survey for the period, and are valuable because the heaviest burden of the tithes to the Established Church, the Church of Ireland, fell on the poorest, for whom few other records survive. 

I hope that this information is of help to you Denis. Do not hesitate to contact us again.

Kind Regards
