Thank You for the information regards Thomas's siblings.  I was interested that they gave residence.  It seems they moved a bit.
One last question would there be a marriage for Michael Quinn and Rose Rogers or would it be too early?

It depends when and where they got married, for example, the online NLI Catholic Parish registers include Haggardstown marriages from 1752.

BTW, Michael Quinn and Rose Rogers didn't move much at all during the period of the baptisms posted, here are Newtownbalregan, Tankardsrock, Balregan and Slieve in the OSI 6" mapping series (1830s):
