Fahey/Fahy/Fay of Co. Roscommon

Looking for a baptismal record on an ancestor from Roscommon, Timothy Fahey, Fahy or Fay b. about 1810s-1820s. He is the son of Timothy and Margaret. I’ve only found a couple of baptismal records on his children Patrick and Anna. Timothy’s spouse is Catherine Kelly and they had 8 children. Timothy also had sister whose name is Maria Fahy who married James Corbett on September 16th, 1867 at Taughmaconnell chapel. Maria Fay (Corbett) was born about 1843. I also cannot find any baptismal records on her.

The baptismal records for Taughmaconnell RC parish start on July 31 1842 https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0338 so we won't find a baptismal record for Timothy Fahy. I also searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and did not find a baptismal record for Maria Fahey so likely she was baptized just before July 31 1842.

I did not find any baptismal records for other children besides Patrick 1842 and Anne 1864. Did they leave the parish for a period of time? The 1855 Griffiths does not show a Timothy or Thady Fahy in Taughmaconnell civil parish.
