Is that the one to John Staunton?

There's a Bridget Laffy born Westport 1835 and a marriage in Westport 1853 to a John Staunton.  That one's father was Thomas Laffy so I assumed she was the 1835 one and that put paid to online trees thinking a 7 year old married John Cavanagh

As John was older, I wonder if he was previously married and that is she we can’t spot a marriage for them.

Eeek!  I'm not sure how I'd ever work that one out, but it's certainly a theory.  I did find a marriage to a John Cavanaugh and a Jane McEnrue/McEnrough and I've sent off for the marriage cert to rule it out but it's in 1856, Bilston and I figured that perhaps John and Bridget were never married, married other people and occasionally got back together to have children... it's one of many theories obviously!

When did Thomas die?

Not found Richard's birth entry in GRO although he was baptised 3 Apr 1859 and his mother's maiden name was recorded as "Laffy"
