Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I can't tell if you have the birth record or not but there is a civil birth index record for a Margaret Eleanor Doloughan in the Banbridge registration distrcit in 1876. You can get a copy from the General Register Office by mail for around 4 euros or get the record online at GRONI https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/search-gronis-online-records cost would be two pounds I believe.
I was unable to find a possible civil marriage record.

The birth that Roger has found looks to be the correct one. GRONI’s indexes confirm dob as 24.4.1876. Mother’s maiden name McCracken. Likely siblings, all registered in Banbridge:
Martha 8.Nov.1866
John 1.Mar.1868 (Dolonghan)
Mary 12.Dec.1870
Elizabeth 10.Nov.1873 (Dolonghan) If you post parents names, father's occupation, and the townland (address) where the birth took place on this board, I'll see if I can locate your family in other records. I see a couple of possibles in the 1901 census but need the parents names etc to be sure.
Parents name as you have given, however, spelled DOLOUGHAN - Lived at Dublin Hill Road, Magherabeg. Father's occupation - Farmer. Located a record of a Maggie and John Marshall, March 1899 - Glasgow-New York. Unable to locate marriage record. Siblings, John, Mary, and Elizabeth. (Mary was my Grandmother) married cousin John Doloughan, resided at Ballyvicknakelly, Dromore, Co. Down.
