Stephanie:

The subscription site Roots Ireland has two baptismal records which may be of interest.

Catherine Oates baptized July 27 1840 Castlerea RC church with father Martin Oates and mother Catherine Hanly

Michael Oates baptized January 1843 in Castlerea RC church with father Martin Oates and mother Catherine Hannelly.

I think Catherine Hanly and Catherine Hannelly are the same person.

I did not find a marriage record.

I'm wondering if the family moved to another parish after 1843 or possibly to England.
