Trying to find my great great grans birth locations.

Hello everyone and thanks for any help I get for this request. I'm new to searching my family tree. I'm struggling with my Irish born ancestors before they moved to Scotland.

My great great gran Catherine Goodwin was born ABT 1859 in Ireland on Scotlands census. I've came across birth records in Monaghan but the parents don't match up. Her parents are Francis Goodwin and Margaret Goodwin MMN is Quinn/queen both born in Ireland according to Scotland census. Catherine had a sibling called roseann born 1854 and Hugh born 1856.

My other great great gran was Sarah aitchison born ABT 1859/1863. Different dates on Scotlands census for her. Her parents are Robert aitchison born ABT 1826 Ireland on Scotlands census 1871 and her mother Catherine aitchison born ABT 1839 on Scotlands census 1871. Sarah had a few siblings Margaret 1857 Elizabeth 1861 and Robert 1865.

Any help finding where they were born or where they lived would be incredible. Thank you.
