Her father, John Donohoe’s occupation is described as ‘Road Contracts’. That could be labourer to business man, I suppose.
Her address is 16 Ardee Street.

I can see some newspaper snippets from 1860s which mention John Donohoe, Chamber Street but also William Donohoe, Ardee Street. There is mention of Thomas Martin, 16 Ardee Street.
I can’t access them further.

Birth of William John Gibbs in Castlebar district, 1870:

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details-civil/d0f9c67868352

The 14th Hussars must have moved from Curragh to Castlebar soon after his parents married.

Quote
.   Returning to England in 1860 (leaving their horses, which included a number of Arabian remounts, in India), the Regiment was renamed the 14th (King's) Hussars, with new uniforms and busbies featuring yellow busby-bags. Thereafter they were stationed in Ireland, then England where they assumed policing duties during rioting in Manchester in 1862. They returned to Ireland in 1868, and embarked for India (Bangalore) in 1876 
per http://britishcavalryregiments.com/34-14H/14H.html

The 14th Hussars' deployment to Curragh seems to have been in May 1868. The chap at https://www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/armyunits/britishcavalry/14thhussarsmoleaccount.htm was recruited by a Sergeant Gibbs at Charing Cross.
