Civil registration of births began 1864- there are no birth certificates before that date. First complete census is 1901 (1901 and 1911 census records for Ireland will eventually be online free at National Archives, Dublin website).
Did they stay in Ireland? IGI lists 3 children to a William Lowth and Julia (no maiden name) but all 3 born in Lincolnshire, England.

Civil registration of births in Ireland started in 1864. The 1851 details you posted for Julia are from a baptismal record not a birth certificate (clue is alos in denomination Roman Catholic).
IGI has a birth for Hanorah Magner born 28 June 1866 Rahan district, Co. Cork, daughter of John Magner and Bridget Donohoe (who may or may not be Julia's sister)

Rev. Arundel Hill was Church of Ireland (Anglican) minister at Fermoy, which means that the could in question must have been Protestant. Later members of the family may have converted to the Roman Catholic faith.
