Thre are thousands of Dunn/Dunne's in Laois.
www.familysearch.org will give you an idea of just how many Patrick's, there are.
A lot of your dates are before Irish Civil Registration (1864) then you would need parish records.

Jack,
Thanks for the information, any ideas on a way to get the Parish they were from?
Bryan
Hi Bryan,
Not without more information.
Familysearch is your best bet.
Try one name at a time and you might get a match for a parish.

Hi Bryan,
I was able to find this information using Rootsireland.ie
Marriage of Patrick Dunne and Mary Phelan, 18 Jan 1835, Parish of Rosenallis, residence Rery (Rearymore?), witnesses: Patrick Deegan and Sally Wright
Baptism of Sarah Dunne, 7 Mar 1836, parish of Rosenallis, parents: Patrick Dunne and Mary Phelan, sponsors: Patrick Duigan and Bridget Dowling
Baptism of Patrick Dunne, 30 May 1847, parish of Rosenallis, parents: Patrick Dunne and Mary Phelan, sponsors: Michael Jonning and Sally Wright
While dates do not match exactly with your family records the names do appear to correspond with your family tree.
Please email me at tom.john.myers@gmail.com and I will reply back with images of the records.
I also have ancestors from Rosenallis.

Bryan and Tom,
My names Declan Dunne and my father was Michael Dunne from Mountmellick and our family folk lore was that his father (Timothy) and grandfather owned a farm around Rosenallis, which was repossessed by the Bank as a result of a guarantee that his grand father had provided to a friend/relation.
In the late 1960’s whilst I was on holiday some American relatives from Boston visited and I was aware that some distant relatives had emigrated there in the 1800’s and I think Phelan was a connection.
i’m interested to find out if there is any connection as I now have time on my hands to dig further into the Dunne family.
regards
Declan Dunne
