I'm doing you wrong there, this isn't the first time this has happened, this morning I could see you as having only 2 posts, the first one and last night's but now you are showing as having 4 posts, so I looked over the thread and there are responses to our questions showing now.
I gave up because it looked like you hadn't answered any questions but clearly you had, I have no idea why I couldn't see the answers, I had even double checked because as I said this isn't the first time this has happened.

It took a while for my first few posts to be approved by the moderator. No worries, I am grateful for the help.

Looks more like River Lane.

There's a River Lane on the OSi 1897-1913 map.

We established that the Rooney family either died or emigrated so you won't find any living relatives from them but there is still Elizbeath's family which we haven't really looked at.
We already had Elizabeth's birth and the family in 1901

Owen Rooney's wife Elizabeth McKone (McKeon) mentioned in the shipping manifest, (reply #5) as Elizabeth Ellen Rooney.

Born 28 March 1890.   MMN Bennett

1901 census
House 56 in Mary Street (Dundalk Urban No. 4., Louth)
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Louth/Dundalk_Urban_No__4_/Mary_Street/1562070/




1911, 8 children, 5 living.
https://census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Louth/Dundalk_Urban_No__4/St__Patrick_s_Terrace/579021/
Children so far living.
1 Catherine
2 Elizabeth
3 Alice
4 Bridget
5 Peter

There doesn't appear to be any children after Peter, his birth cert is worth a look, he was registered with the incorrect name which was later corrected but unfortunately most of the correction is cut off the image.

and
Peter married Kathleen Kearney in 1928

We won't find birth certs for Peter's children as it's too late but might find a few for the girls.
