Searching for my great great grandmother in Killashandra  Co Cavan

Sorry it has been so long and every venue a dead end that I didn't bother to enter much because really I don't expect any joy.
My Margaret  married Andrew Bleakley b 1818 in Killeshandra church (no date) but my great grandfather also Andrew was born in 1838. That is the only mention I have found of Margaret Nolan. We find Andrew senr on the 1841 census at his parents home (William & Isabella Bleakley)but no son and he is listed as single . He  died 2 years later and the next time great grandfather surfaces is on his wedding day in 1858 in the Urney church to Elizabeth Montgomery
In the thirties decade a Killeshandra a (nameless)woman dies in childbirth in 1839 and I believe it has to be she or otherwise why would her husband be listed as single in 1841

There is hardly any of the 1841/1851 Irish census available, there is a possibility that this Andrew Snr is not yours.

Do you have the marriage that lists his parents, age, why no marriage date? Is this where you get the maiden name Nolan?

Difficulty is there are so few records online.

I got my information from Dr Jackie Brieden who for her thesis followed two Bleakley families on Lord Farnhams' estate. She had documented all the family information  from the church in Killeshandra sometime in the nineties and obviously before all remaining records were sent to Dublin. Some of these records were iffy and although she recorded the marriage of Andrew and Margaret the date was missing. Her records are mostly there but for Margaret Nolon. I have Andrew Jnr's wedding record and also his c. date 6th May 1839

.."In the thirties decade a Killeshandra a (nameless)woman dies in childbirth in 1839 and I believe it has to be she or otherwise why would her husband be listed as single in 1841...."
