Looking for Peter Joseph Cosgrove born 1815

Looking for Peter Joseph Cosgrove who married Bridget Conway. As far as we can find they emigrated to the US and settled in Scranton PA in the early 1850's. We found a baptismal record for Bridget in Dublin with a Pat Cosgrove as a witness. Peter was born in 1815 and Bridget 1828. We can't find anything that lists where in Ireland they actually came from, all later records just list Ireland as a birth place. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Siobhan,
I found a transcription for the baptism of Peter Cosgrave in 1815 in Co. Cavan. Can't say for sure that he is your ancestor. Would need more information. Did Peter name any of his children Matthew or Judith? That would be a clue. If you have questions, please email glanvvil3@aol.com.
