That John Kilroy died in Galway Workhouse 'from Liverpool' so might be better found in English records such as 1901 (and earlier) census, etc.

I don't see a death for a Michael Kilroy in Ballinsloe district in 1943 but there is this one in 1941-

If Michael was born in Taughmaconnell cround 1855 you can search the Catholic parish registers- his baptism should list names of both parents (unless illegitimate)-

Note: Ta(u)ghmaconnell listed under Roscommon not Galway.

Added- there is a 1943 death of a Michael Kilroy in Athlone registration district (which is the one for Taughmaconnell) but unfortunately the image isn't online-
