Hi Norman . . .
Welcome to " Ireland Reaching Out " . . To my location .. miles from Brosna Village .. anf 4 miles from Shinrone.
_________________________________________________________________
As you will see . . on the Maps below . . . you are spot on with location . . but . .
now comes the diffacult part . . . but lets see what can be found . . .

I searched . . using " Roots " ( pay site ) . . and yes, I found the marriage ( as you have ) as follows. . .

Geographically . . . the above is a possability . . . BUT . . . movement in those years was infrequent and diffacult . . and
Marriages were usually . . . within the immediate vicinity . . . But . . agricultural labourers did move around . . .
