What was John Maguires wife's name please?

In a tythe valuation of 1833, the civil parish of Drumlane is returned as part of the parish of Drumgood, so have to search the latter.
Quite a few Maguires, see this search. Note in particular James in Drummullagh.

Also one James Mcguire, in Feaugh (could be same person as above? - I don't know)

There is also Griffith's Valuation, of 1857, to search, but I have had enough for tonight!

1855 record for Patrick Donohoe's holding in Feaugh.
You can see the size, condition and rating of his house, barn and byre.

So first off, this was helpful, I didn't think to check these records.

However, looking at the details of the entry:
Surname   Forename   Event Year   Date of Valuation   Book   County   Barony   Parish   Townland
Donohoe   Patt   1855   Jan 1855   House book   Cavan   Loughtee Upper   Lavey & Larah   Feaugh

Feaugh is in the Loughtree Upper Barony would have been 30km away from Feugh Bishops, in the Loughtee Lower Barony/Drumlane parish.

So unless I'm mistaken, not likely to be a match.
 
Unfortunately, searching the Valuation office books, I don't see any maguires or donohoe's in the Drumlane parish

I am not personally familiar with Cavan and its social geography, so this is precisely the sort of double checking you need to do. 

In my own family most marriages were with the "Girl next door", or at least from the same or adjacent parishes. That said, though, there were exceptions, some surprising exceptions, that I was only convinced of by DNA matches appearing.  Specifically a few marriages at 30 km distance in the 1830s by modest farming families. Another, more affluent pair married at a distance of over 50 km, also in the 1830s (didn't need DNA matching to know they were correct). So 30 km is not out of the question if they were two farming families that would meet at a common market town. Remember that farmers had to frequent a market.

As a check, I would look in detail at spelling variations for the townlands, which you can find on logainm.ie and townlands.ie

There is a reason for that. Different Valuation Office records survive for different parishes/electoral divisions. The records for Drumlane appear to be only "field books", not the "house books".  The field books only record the names of major householders, not everyone.

Same thing here, parish of Lavey, matches the feaugh of the first record.

Very fair questions to ask, and I certainly don't want to rule out anything prematurely.
All of the Donohoe children baptism record listed their residence as being Feugh, in the Drumlane parish.  They were baptized at (most likely) St Mary's Church in Staghall (and if not, St. Patrick's just a few kms away), which is also 23km away from that townland.  One child's baptism record was even listed as being from Feugh Maxwell.  So if they were in fact from Feaugh in Lavey, that would conflict with all their baptism records.

Quite a few Maguires, see this search. Note in particular James in Drummullagh.

Good find.  Also a widow Maguire in Cruny (Creeny), same townland where William was born.  Possibly a grandma or aunt?

Also one James Mcguire, in Feaugh (could be same person as above? - I don't know)

Also a Pat Donohoe in Feaugh:
Donoho   Patt   Feaugh   Drumgoon   Cavan   1833, which is Feugh Bishop in the writing, which lines up with the Donohoe children records I found previously.
