It says married 20 years, but there doesn't seem to be a marriage record. According to the birth records of some of the later children, their mother's maiden name was EYERS.

The couple moved to Rathdrum by 1873 when daughter Sarah was born 7.11.1873 Mongnacoole.

Sorry but they are proving very difficult to find.
I'm beginning to think the Eayres aren't catholic and maybe that is why

Do you think that is the right death for Fanny/Frances - aged 85 yrs?
There is a marriage - 1861 Cork
Luke Davis and Frances Diana Herbert. I would think that is the death you have so not the right Frances.

Could the marriage have been in England?

The 'FreeBMD' website search facility brings back a possible match on names registered at Dewsbury, Dec 1889, Vol 9b, Page 1010, two of the names being Richard Davis and Fanny Eyres.
