Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

The RC records for Clontuskert parish start in 1827  https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0330 ;  so you won't be able to find baptismal records for Peter and Catherine. I checked the Tithe records for the civil parish but did not locate any Lally or Shea records.

Can I suggest that you post the story or Peter and Catherine to our XO Chronicles site https://www.irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/ancestor-dat…; Possibly someone will see the story and recognize the family.

You may also want to consider autosomal DNA testing.
