Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I checked the 1901 and 1911 censuses for Fountain Hill townland but there were no Heanue/Heanie or McDonough families in the townland. The online Irish phonebook http://www.eirphonebook.ie/#   has some Heanue out in Connemara some in Renvyle, Letterfrack and also Clifden.

The 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing shows some Heany/Heaney records but none in Fountain Hill.

I searched on Roots Ireland for the marriage record but it did not come up. I looked at the parish register and there is a gap with marriage records from May 1855 to August 1858 so likely they were married in the gap period.

You may want to consider autosomal DNA testing.

Let me know if have any questions.
