Mary's husband James is listed as an electrician in all census records.

1900 census Mary states had 2 children 2 still alive

In 1910 Mary is listed as mother of 8 with 4 still alive. This seems to match the birth/death records of the children posted above.

I have a happy update to this question.  I found a DNA match who has this family in their tree and descends from these Dolans.  The shared DNA matches included someone else who I know descends from Margaret O'Brien and Frederick Cowperthwaite, so that seems to fit.  The tree lists Margaret & Mary (nee O'Brien)'s parents as John O'Brien and Margaret Bastick, and the children seem to be born in the vicinity of Kinnitty.  I don't see Margaret's birth record, and I'm still looking for her marriage to Frederick, so still more to find.
