John Lawless born 1863 married 1894 (Swinford) to Ellen Hopkins 1878. Lived in (Kilcoman). Children born in Islandeady. I am trying to find out more info about John & Ellen, where they came from etc.

Only confirms everyone born in Mayo but 1911 gives Ellen's mother as Anne, as well as confirming number of children up to that point.

Does not have any Ellen born to Anne 1876-1880 but does have 3 born to a Mary - perhaps she was Mary Ann?
You can experiment with the firstnames and so on until you get a reasonable match before you pay for transcripts.
