Did Irish women usually retain their own surnames after marriage or adopt those of the husbands?

Clare / Looking for Farrell birth records 1850/60
« on: Saturday 01 January 11 06:10 GMT (UK) »
Mary Morrissey and Patrick Farrell had between five and nine children together between 1850 and 1870. I have not yet found the marriage record.
The birth dates for two of the five born after 1864, Margaret and Patrick, are registered in Dublin or Galway according to the LDS FamilySearch Ireland Births and Baptisms Index 1620-1881 and are consistent with death records in Australia. The birth dates for another three, Elizabeth, Mary, and Thomas are not yet validated against other records. Records for Elizabeth and Mary are similar to the two validated records being in Dublin and Galway. Thomas is recorded as being born in Scarriff, Clare.
The older four according to death records in Australia, Bridget, James, Ann and Winifred were born before Irish registration began in 1864 and are said to have been born in Clare (possibly around Scarriff). Are there any online sources I can search to check these details?
