Is this your Michael’s death with son John reporting it?

Margaret Langan’s death - hard to read. Is the informant Joseph Moran?

If Michaels' age at death was correct it would put his birth around 1822 and widen the window for year of marriage.
Informant of Margaret's death looks like Joseph Moran. His residence also Castle Road.

If Michael was born around 1822, gaps in the marriage registers might fit the time he married, if he married there. If he married in 1840s there may have been children older than Thomas whose baptisms are missing.
Tried to decipher names of godparents of Thomas. Pat somebody and Winifred McAndrey?

I can see Winifred now you mention it  :)
I was thinking McAndress (using the long ‘s’) and Pat -possible Night so maybe there is a Knight really.
