John:
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
The 1858 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing showed the surname as Conaghton http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/sligo/kilmactranny.htm
By the 1901 census, there were no Connaughtons in the townland.although it is possible that a married daughter may have been living there.
The RC parish is Geevagh but the parish register is short. They have baptisms from 1873-1880 and marriages from 1851-1881. http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0560
I looked for possible dath index records and found this record in 1893 for a Patrick Connaughton. I could not find a good possible record for Bridget.

Let me know if you have any questions.
