The nearest i can get you is 1887
i saw a reference on line to this family James Noonan and Kate Corbet married 1885

Possible variation Dukesmill.
Dukesmill shows in Game Presevation Notices for Tallow, with the name Beecher in the 1970s, saw on another site someone asking about Beecher family for Ducksmill/Dukesmill.

maybe its also known as Dukes Mill
see Catherine or Kate Donovan died 1909
http://www.willcalendars.nationalarchives.ie/reels/cwa/005014916/005014916_00085.pdf

death cert
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1909/05467/4530279.pdf

That's the Kate as informant on Mary Gorman's death and living with her in 1901.
