Mary:
A couple comments and I can see from the Internet that you have been searching for this couple for a long time.
The main issue is that church records for Burrishoole RC parish do not start until 1872.
The spelling of the townland is Kiltarnaght.
The Tithes and the 1856 Griffiths show the same head of household--Phelim Donnelly. There are also four Lunns in the parish. ( I think Phelim was the father of Edward).

There is also a Patrick Donnelly in Kiltarnaght in the 1901 and 1911 census and a Bridget in the 1901 census. Interestingly, in 1901 there is a Mary shown as wife to Patrick yet he was unmarried. My guess is that she was the mother of Patrick and possibly this was Mary Lunn.
