Not an expert by any means so take the following with a word of caution !!.
His death and therefore obviously his marriage and birth of his sons etc was before civil registration in Ireland(1864 I think).Earliest complete census of Ireland available is 1901.
So for any Irish records you will be relying on church records.
Online Carlow records are scarce at best eg RootsIreland (pay site) has nothing for Carlow.
You say they were RC but there are some COI baptism marriage and death records for Carlow free at;

Where I found the headstone record;
was;http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~irlcar2/Site_index.htm
Reckon your best bet is to contact the Leighlin Parish Office and see if they have anything on that particular family.Found them very helpful before.
PS have relatives buried in Ballyknockan .It was (is) now a mixed graveyard ie both catholic and protestant I think.
Good luck and if you need any local knowledge dont hesitate to ask.
