Hello and welcome

Going back in your ancestry, where do you find your family? Did Thomas and Sarah move away from Leitrim?

Hiya.. Yes they left and they are on the 1881 census for Darlington Co. Durham UK which I were I am now there oldest child Susannah is 8 years old and it states she was born in Darlington so the must of left Ireland not long after getting married.. I'm struggling to find there parent or family or if they even come from carrigellan it says on the census from darlington that they were born in  carrigellan

Well, it is difficult, isn't it.
The parish records are very difficult to read - some feint, some missing.
Griffiths Valuation
https://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/leitrim/carrigallen.htm
There are a couple of McGraths but no Waugh.

The couple are both ‘servants’ on marriage which could mean anything from working on a local estate to a local farmer etc.
However they both offer Carrigallen as birthplace on an English census.

In 1881 there are Rourke and Reilly neighbours - both surnames occur in Carrigallen parish but, of course, they could be from anywhere.

In 1891 there is a boarder, Terence Carney from Carrigallen - again there are Carneys in Griffiths Valuation.

I see one child is Francis Joseph. There is a mention in military records on FindMyPast of Francis Waugh b 1839, Leitrim but I don’t have access.

There is a mention on Ancestry of Francis Waugh, discharge date 1878, Sergeant in 17th Regiment.
He may be in 1881 and later censuses b Gibraltar and living in Salford.

These are likely to have no connection with your Waugh family.

In summary - no sign of them really which is very disappointing.
