Got bogged down with the 163 Irish born residents in this street. Many, many have Donegal names , and a good proportion of Rathmelton names (in G.V.) BUT that doesn't mean to say they couldn't be present elswhere. Not proof.
I found the following on Lindels Donegal site.
It's curious that's all, and right time frame for John
1867 Sweeney, John 27 Bachelor Labourer Dromore,
-Conwal (father)Sweeney, Hugh Labourer- Ward, Mary Full Spinster (father) Patrick Ward.
I think I'll have to go back and copy that entry again, it has not come out as I wished. But my thoughts were, perhaps Winifred was a second marriage?? Maybe Marys sister???
If you are searching G.V. remember mcGinnis has alternative spellings e.g. Mc Guiness etc .
I'll have to do some stuff for work tomorrow but I'll have another look later.
