Hello and welcome to RootsChat.
Marriages usually took place in bride's parish.
Are you assuming that Isabella Campbell who married Thomas O'Neill was the same Isabella who witnessed a marriage in 1823? There may have been more than 1 Isabella. Possibly related, possibly not.
Were Thomas O'Neill & Ally Campbell the parents of Bernard and Jane? The father may have been a different Thomas O'Neill.
BTW sponsor is for baptism. There was no age requirement for a sponsor at a Catholic baptism in earlier times. A sponsor had to fulfil certain religious criteria and be old enough to understand the significance of the ceremony. A child aged 10-16 may have been considered a suitable sponsor, all things considered. Rules and customs varied according to country and time.

Yes they are the one and same person not assuming at all , we have that information ,but don't know what parish Isabella came from to find a marriage.
The Parents Thomas ONeill Isabella (Ally )Campbell are their 3 children spellings by the priests when putting entries did get things a bit wrong the townland was Annaghboe or Annaghmore Parish of Clonoe many ONeills 80 and Campbells 60 on a census at the time ., I have done much research not new to it . Ally Isabella's brother was a William Campbell , I wouild like to find this part of my family ggrandparents.

Hello
I’ve had a look in my files as I’ve been doing some of the same mapping on the O’Neills in this area.
I found my notes on Thomas O’Neill and Isabella Campbell. I couldn’t get back any further with them, but they had another possible child in 1827
Ellen O’Neill baptised 24 Feb 1827, sponsors Owen, Margaret McClean. Clonoe, Father Thomas, mother Elz Campbell.
Out of interest do you know if Isabella Campbell has a sister called Eleanor?
-
Eleanor Campbell came from Mousetown, Clonoe (born about 1807).
She was married to a Hugh O’Neill. I’ve not found the marriage certificate to date.
