This family is the Mellody family discussed on Ancestry under the title "Boston Melodys".

According to this thread William's father was Anthony, and Catherine's was John.

The date of their marriage is puzzling. I've seen 1st Feb, 11th Feb and 1st May 1874 (http://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000632309#page/50/mode/1up).

William and Catherine had five children before moving to Blackburn in England: John (26th Dec 1875), Anthony (5th Jan 1878), Michael (15th Aug 1880), Mary (1882), and William (1884). They then appear to have had three more in England: Patrick (Q2 1891), Kate (Q1 1894), and Celia (Q3 1897).

In the 1901 census there are two families in Currower headed by Anthony and Bridget with children of the same names and roughly the same ages. The clincher is probably this odd record https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FCVF-3QS - only the younger family had an Owen.
