There is a possibility that marriages are recorded on their baptismal records however these are too to be on line - http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0150

Ferbane is online up to 1877

The church may be able to help


If you use https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ to search for their civil birth records some are missing
I can see good possibilities for some (William, James, John, Catherine, Mary Bridget, Peter and Margaret) in Parsonstown/Birr but not the others
However for marriages and deaths you would need to know where to look or else invest in many certificates to be sure

Possibly Bridget's death aged 1 - LINK

Possibly William's death aged 21 in 1906 - LINK

Here you can see the records for Margaret's birth and probable death - LINK


Starting at home there are 16 marriages between 1911 and 1950 listed in Birr with one party named JOHNSON/JOHNSON/JOHNSTONE
You can rule out the names that you don't have e.g. Martha etc.
What is left is quite a short list and worth the investment in obtaining certificates
(€4 each from the GRO) to see if they are the correct people
unfortunately no easy way to work forward with families
Kearney & Bourke/ Johns & Fox/ Mannion & Finan/ Donohoe & Curley
Byrne [Carthy], Keeffe/ Germaine, Butler/ McDermott, Giblin/ Lally, Dolan
Toole, Doran; Dowling, Grogan/ Reilly, Burke; Warren, Kidd [Lawless]/ Smith, Scally; Mangan, Rodgers/ Fahy, Calday; Staunton, Miller
Further generations:
Brophy Coleman Eathorn(e) Fahy Fitzpatrick Geraghty Haverty Keane Keogh Nowlan Rowe Walder
