If you look at a map you can see that Ballyhaunis and Claremorris are closer to each other than they are to Castlebar.
In modern times, no problem, may be then slightly more difficult.
Sorry this next bit is so long winded.
I found a couple of records yesterday, by chance, and am having the greatest difficulty finding them today.
If you have Ancestry, there is a baptism for Thomas William Murphy, October 1913 in Castlebar. I think I may have found another child too. However, searching by name initially doesn’t work.
“All Ireland, Select Catholic Birth and Baptism Registers, 1763-1917 “
Then search for Castlebar gives
“ All Ireland, Select Catholic Birth and Baptism Registers, 1763-1917 results for Castlebar”
And you can see Murphy names.
You may not need these details but the priest has entered marriage details on some baptisms which can be useful.
Now - my point - if there are detailed notes, there might also be some on marriage records. These are not online but perhaps contacting the church might produce further details from the marriage record re Kathleen’s origins.
