When Mary Nugent was born in 1834 in Kiltoghert, Leitrim, Ireland, her father, James, was 36, and her mother, Rose, was 25. She had seven sons and two daughters with Henry Flynn between 1858 and 1878. She died on May 28, 1898, in her hometown at the age of 64.
They lived in Cormongan. He brother, Peter Nugent emigrated to America somewhere between 1847 and 1860.

From what I can see, the Nugents and Flynns worshiped at the RC parish of Murhaun https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0163 which has late starting records.
I looked for marriage records for children of Henry Flynn and Mary Nugent and only locate two records
Jane Flynn married Patrick Dolan on February 6 1893. Patrick's father was Michael Dolan. I obtained the info from the subscription site Roots Ireland. The civil record is not available.
Francis Flynn married Mary McGourty on February 18 1901 See second record at this link https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1901/10301/5749549.pdf

Thank you so much!
Yes, 1861. I was told a fire destroyed previous records, but perhaps not the church itself. I’ve found conflicting histories, that the “new” church was built in 1845?
and I found this interesting note about an 1817 appeal apparently written in Muraugh. I would love to find this document and see the signatories. James Nugent, Mary’s father, leased the land in Cormongan from COI minister.
(List of earliest printing examples from County Leitrim) -pg 265
1817. A Simple Narrative solely interesting to Three Hundred Poor Famiies, Occupiers of a certain District in the County Leitrim, the reputed Estate of the Earl of Bessborough. * The Rev. Dominick Fanning, P.P. Ato.
(Brit. Mus-807, f. 36/24.)
Pg 265
* In the book there is an insertion of 16 pages, smaller leaf, dated from
Drumshanbo, 1st January, 1817. It is an appeal from Lord Bessborough’s friends on behalf of his “Broken-hearted and Pennyless Peasants. His English agents are overcharging exorbitant rents, etc." The appeal is signed by Father Fanning and 22 tenants. Mention is made of an agreement made at Murhaun chapel. There is no printer's name or place given, but the printing is so well done that I don't think this insertion was done locally. —V. Memo from Dr. Crone.
Murhaun chapel, from which the parish takes its name, was an old thatched one. Its walls can just be made out in Murhaun graveyard, within a few hundred yards of the present Drumshambo C. Church. A very old man, Andrew McManus, of Blackrock, Mahanagh, who died a few years ago, often attended Mass in it.-Ed.
