Hi,
Thank you for your message.
Have you tried looking in Church records for information? Most Catholic records are held locally. One website that you may find helpful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. For Aghalurcher parish follow this link:
For Church of Ireland records check: http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/. The Anglican Record Project is has created an index to their records: http://ireland.anglican.org/cmsfiles/pdf/AboutUs/library/AngRecord/bunclodyunionindex.pdf
You could also try searching for a birth or marriage record at Family Search. This is a huge database of genealogical records compiled by the Church of the Latter Day Saints. You can search this here:
You could also search for record of the Nobles and Haleys in the Tithe Applotment Books. These were compiled between 1823 and 1837 in order to determine the amount which occupiers of agricultural holdings should pay in tithes to the Church of Ireland. They are available online here:

Have you looked into their emigration much? Generally more information was given at the port of arrival rather than that of departure so this may be a place to find more information. For information on Canadian immigration records check the National Library and Archives at http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/index-e.html
Another good website is http://www.irish-genealogy-toolkit.com/Canadian-immigration-records.html
