You can look here http://registers.nli.ie/ but it is not searchable by name so if you don't know which parish it won't be easy.
There are births to a Daniel McMahon and Anne Twohy on FamilySearch in Mountshannon so that would be a good place to start, it's covered by Clonrush parish which straddles counties Clare and Galway.

Mountshannon records are here but YIKES they are hard to read and there appears to be chunks missing around the timeline you are looking at

Thanks. Yes, very hard to read

Might just leave as is unless somebody comes to light who is also researching that line!
