Welcome to Rootschat 

It would be helpful if you gave some sort of context and also what information you already have - if any.

In the meantime do these mean anything to you.

Martin and Margaret Donohue with children

These will have been born late 19th century so you should be able to find births, marriages and deaths.
You can look for civil records here (from 1864) https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/

KG has posted similar information for you

Also look at Family Search

Google can sometimes bring up an ancestor or two.

Thank you so much for this info. Yes we are aware of this. All of the info we have so far can be found on in 2 essays on the below link

https://abbey.galwaycommunityheritage.org/content/topics/new-contributions/researching-our-family-tree

We are looking for further information, corrections or general critique.

[heywood]

I was going to suggest sending your research to the local community but you have already done that so I would think that is the place to add to or correct your findings. Well done - lots of hard work there.


Just to add that it would have been better to explain your quest initially.
