Yes I noticed him, that would be two daughter's called Mary, doesn't add up.
It would be good to know of other living children to find them in the census, I've struggled with this family last night and today.
I also wondered if the Pull could refer to a hole of some kind, but looking a Griffith's I can see anything obvious, unless it's a name for the bog land.

On James and Mary's marriage, this name is the address of Mary.

This looks like her father Pat's death

in Cloonfinnaun
I think this could just be a simple case of how they pronounced the name and the registrar not understanding what they were saying or it was a local name for a part of the townland which is lost today.
I had a family using a very old name as their address which I only found on one record from the 1840s about repairing flood damage at their mill and later as the name of a greyhound. If they hadn't been millers and known in living memory I would never have been able to work out where they lived.

Galway / Re: Canney / Canny / Kearney / Carney of Clonbur/Ardnageeha

You haven’t really given enough to work with.
Is this his death in 1958
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1958/04376/4136320.pdf
It gives an age of 73 which gives a birth c1885
Where did you get a birth year c1878.
The c1885 birth seems to fit with this man
1911

No obvious marriage showing up, when would they have married, what year was their first child born.
Where was Margaret from as marriages usually happen in the brides parish.

Antrim / Re: Did Roman Catholics make civil registrations in Belfast?

I’d say no, it wasn’t planned, it just happens sometimes.
They registered their daughter Mary Jane in 1878

Where did you get the information on the marriage, can you see other marriages that happened around the same time and check if they were registered.

I don’t know if it was the same in 1877 as today, now the priest sends the marriages to the registrar, often in bunches, it’s been known for marriages to be lost in the church and never registered.

Mayo / Re: Cleary Family from Mayo

In Griffith's Valuation Dominick Cleary is in Lettermaghera North not South (as in the Census I found), the Kilroy's are also there, not in Furnace. Not sure why that would be. Also Dominick appears to be sharing his land with Mary Higgins. Print date 1855.

There is a death of a Dominick Cleary in 1883 son John informant, but have a look at the death above it, Ellen Cleary son John informant.
Ellen died 15 April and Dominick the 16th.
