IGI (www.familysearch.org) lists details on Michael Duffy-
Birth registration- Michael Duffey born 20 July 1869 Ballyleague District, Co. Roscommon (page 356 in civil register)
Christening- Michael Duffy 25 July 1869 Kilbride R.C. Parish (mother Margarita McKeon)- remember that names in register possibly written in Latin so 'Margarita' would have been Margaret and McKeon is another version of McKeown.

See here for introduction to Irish records so you can search for marriage in civil index, etc.-

possible marriage on the IFHF site
Margaret McKeon & Patrick Duffy both show as having been married in 1868 in Kilbride RC church, Roscommon.
There is no way of knowing if they married each other until you buy the record for €5
