Mayo / Re: JoyceFamily KilbrideMayo

Hello, I believe I may now have my Gggranfather's name: Thomas Joyce. He was the father of Michael Joyce of Kilbride/Owenbrin, Mayo, who married Ellen (also) Joyce @ 1858 in the Balls RC Church. This Thomas was also the father of Martin Joyce (Margaret Kearney), Stephen Joyce (Sabina Higgins), and John Joyce. Is there a way to determine the name of my Gggrandmother, Thomas' wife? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Yes, this is the right Family. The house  Census# changed between 1901 and 1911. Thank you for confirming Ellen's maiden name as "Joyce." Now I have another problem, though. . . . The marriage license I got from Mother of Sorrows Church in Philadelphia PA gives Sarah's birthday as Dec 24th! It looks like she completed the information in her own hand, so I was pretty confident about that Christmas Eve Birthday until now.
I realize it's not uncommon to find confusion on such points. Do you know if/how I can figure out whether this Ellen Joyce derives from one of the many other Joyce Families in Kilbride or nearby?

Michael and Ellen Joyce of Kilbride/Owenbrin, CoMayo were my great grandparents. They are in house #25 in the 1911 Census and their daughter, Sarah, is my grandmother who emigrated and settled in Pittsburgh PA @1911. Her 1916 Philadelphia marriage license with Michael Joseph Regan (my grandfather) of Townranny, CoGalway indicates that her mother Ellen Joyce's maiden name was also Joyce. I am wondering if this is correct: i.e., That Michael Joyce married Ellen Joyce, or if perhaps Ellen's maiden name as stated on her daughter's marriage license is wrong, and Ellen had a different maiden name. If she was born a Joyce, is it possible to identify her parents? Thanks for any assistance as I've been stuck on this for quite a while.
