Hi Janis,
Thank you for your message.
I hope that someone with information on this family makes a connection with you and helps you to further your research.
In the meantime, have you tried looking for record of Francis or Maurice in the land records pertaining to Ireland in the 19th century? If you can find them in these it will give you the name of the townland where they lived and also information on how much land they owned/rented. There are two:
The Tithe Applotment Books (1823-1838) found at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp
and Griffith?s Valuation (1848-1864) found at http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/
