I searched ths subscription site Roots Ireland and did not find a marriage record for the couple and I also did not locate any baptismal records.
You don't mention the religious denomination of Mary and Timothy. The RC records for Ballinasloe start in 1820 https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0324
Church of Ireland marriage and baptismal records are not on Roots Ireland. This list of C of I parish records indicates that Ballinasloe baptismal records start in 1823 and are held locally.
Did Mary and Timothy emigrate or remain in Ireland?

Thank you so much for your response and your effort. Timothy Mckeigue and Mary Goode Mckeigue stayed in Ireland. Timothy had a son Timothy Mckeigue JR who married Mary Gorman. They and two of their children emigrated to the US about 1850. I appreciate you looking up Mary Goode. Perhaps my information on her being from Ballinasloe is faulty.

Both couples were Catholic.

Roger, Timothy Mckeigue the son, born June 1 1822, may have lived in Brackernaugh.

I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland and did not find the 1822 baptismal record or the marriage to Mary Gorman. I also did not find any baptismal records for their children.
I don't know if you have tested your DNA. There is a Facebook group which focuses on people from East Galway which would include Ballinasloe https://www.facebook.com/groups/eastgalwaygenealogy/ ; You may want to join the group even if you have not tested your DNA.
If Timothy was from Brackernagh, they should have attended the Ballinasloe church so I'm a bit puzzled.
