Hello Michele,
HUGUENOT FAMILIES

Doloreaux many be incorrect spelling of Deloumeau or De Loumeau
It is possible that your ancestor may have been of Huguenot ancestry. Many emigrated to England and Ireland during the 1600s. It is possible that part of the reason you are having difficulty finding details of the name in Ireland is that not too many of them were in Ireland in the first place.
Irish towns which had large Huguenot populations included Cork, Dublin, Lisburn (Co. Antrim)and (Portarlington in (Co. Laois).
Best Wishes,
Christopher
