Michael:

The baptismal records for Mitchelstown RC parish start in 1792 and stop in July 1801. They resume in September 1814. Marriage records start in 1822.

I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland and located four Casey baptismal records where the parents were Andrew Casey and Catherine Brien. I thought I would share the info because two of the names don't match your list. Also, did the family leave Ireland after 1799 because I did not find a record for Ellen.

David Brien baptized December 4 1793

Morgan Brien baptized May 25 1795

Mary Brien baptized May 4 1797

Daniel Brien baptized March 18 1799

In the mid-19th century, Casey was a very common surname in Brigown civil parish.
