Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and located three baptismal records for Catherine, Mary and Michael in the Loughlynn RC records. I also found the 1857 marriage record for Patrick and Bridget in the Castlrea RC records. See below. Civil registration did not start until 1864. I also located the 1876 civil marriage record for Mary Hanmer and John Raftery which shows both families lived in Cloonbunny townland in Tibohine civil parish  https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1876/11161/8088693.pdf

I also checked the 1901 census for Cloonbunny and there were two Hanmore families including a Michael who was 38 and possibly the brother to Mary?

I was not able to find a baptismal record or civil birth record for Delia/Bridget.

Let me know if you have questions and let us know when you plan to visit Ireland.

Thank you so much Roger for your research. This helps me to find more extended family. Michael Hanmer death in 1879, and being widowed leads me to believe the Hanmer children possibly came to the states without parents. My plan to visit is for next May. I wanted to know where my ancestors were. Looks like I am close.
