Hi Cynda

There are too many POSSIBLYS in this query.

Can you give us what actual paperwork based FACTS that you have on this family ?

Unfortunately cyanda the Irish records from the early 1800s back are scant

Many that do exist are not all available online and those that are require you to know a parish or townland before you can search

The other disadvantage that you are at is that the names you are searching for are common names
Even if you locate a Daly/McCarthy marriage and family, you will require something further to prove the family is correct

As Tara suggested - look at the facts you have to date. What are you 100% sure of and is proven. Then working from there you might be lucky!
