Bridget 1844

It is very difficult given how common the Nolan name is in the 19th Century to say where this family may have been born. There are too many baptism possibilities to give you any useful progress updates. You could have a look at familysearch.org or rootsireland.ie (a subscription site) to see what they are - perhaps sponsors' names on a baptism will mean something to you. I even tries searching for a baptism for Kieran/Ciaran (an uncommon name for the most part) but could find nothing. It may be the case that the children where born in a parish and at a time that predates parish records.

This link will give you an indication of the spread of the name in between 1847 and 1864:
