Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I looked on the subscription site Roots Ireland and found two records of interest. I found an 1860 baptismal record for a Patrick Forde in Aughrim RC parish with parents Patrick and Anne. I also found an 1865 record for a Bernard Forde in Kilchreest RC parish. The mother was shown as Anne Loughnane. This may be the correct family. Patrick Forde and Anne Loughnane also had the following other children: Catherine 1868 Martin 1870 Bridget 1872 Bridget may be the Delia in you message. Not sure where the records for Patrick and Mary are. Kilchreest records start in 1855.
