I am also looking for an Andrew McMahon in Limerick, born about 1832. He married a Helen Rathwell, b about 1836, in approx 1855. They came to Canada in 1856, Renfrew County, Ontario; their daughter (my g-grandmother) Mary Ann was born in 1856, but there is conflicting information as to whether it was in Ireland or Canada. Helen Rathwell McMahon, according to family history, left her husband and child in 1860 and ran off with another man.
I've tried the Griffith Valuation and various available census info but can't find any Rathwells (or Rothwells)in Limerick at that time, so perhaps she was from another part of Ireland.
It's a puzzle, anyway. Especially because someone has just posted some incorrect family info on the familysearch.org site, trying to merge this family with another McMahon family that was related.
