Hi Rosemary:
Will do what I can with the additional info you provided. All I can do is to TRY to identify what are the most likely rcds. Sometimes I can do this with great precision; other times, my research yields ambiguous results.
For Pat(rick) Mahon B 1862/63, Co. Leitrim, with a father forenamed Pat(rick), I found 2 rcds: 1862 Mohill and 1863 Cloone RC parishes.
For Mary Mahon B 1861 (exact), ditto, I found 0 rcds.
For John Mahon B 1860/61 ditto, I found 0 rcds.
For John Mahon B 1857 +/- 1 yr, ditto, ditto.
For Br(idget) Mahon B 1856 ditto, ditto.
For Pat(rick) Mahon M 1855 +/- 1 yr, Co. Leitrim, I found 3 rcds: 1854 Gortletteragh, 1855 Cloonclare, and 1855 Manorhamilton Marriage Banns RC parish.
For Mary Allen M ditto, I found 2 rcds: 1854 Manorhamilton Marriage Banns RC, and 1854 Killargue RC parishes.
For Br(idget) Allen M ditto, I found 0 rcds.
All of the above are largely negative. The single case where I get results could have been due to random chance.
Search all Ireland:
For Pat(rick) Mahon M 1855 +/- 1 yr, somewhere in Ireland, I found 27 rcds: 1854 TYR, 1854 LEI, 1854 DWN, 4-1854 LIM, 1855 ANT*, 2-1855 LEI, 1855 MAY*, 2-1855 CAV**, 1855 KID, 1855 TIP, 1855 LIM, 1855 CLR, 3-1856 MEA*, 2-1856 LNG, 1856 ROS, 1856 MAY, 1856 ANT, and 1856 LOU.
For Mary Allen M ditto, I found 16 rcds: 2-1854 LEI, 2-1854 ARM, 1854 ANT, 1855 ANT*, 1855 TYR, 1855 MAY*, 1855 ARM, 1856 TYR, 1856 GAL, 1856 MEA*, and 4-1856 WSM.
For Br(idget) Allen M ditto, I found 2 rcds: 1855 CAV**, and 1856 KID.
The asterisked items indicate POTENTIAL matches. Each must be further screened at the more detailed parish level to see if there are matches for the same yr/cnty/parish. If so, it is HIGHLY likely (but not 100%) to be for your ancestors. Will leave this task to you as it is very tedious and will take an hour or more.
Hope this helps.
