Hopefully someone who knows how to do it will put up a link but at the NLI Parish Registers. Marriages Dunlecky County Carlow Dec 1827.

Left hand side just above January 1828.

I think Mary's surname is Podmore. The place looks like it may begin with a K but not sure.
-
Thanks for that Sinann. Its that first letter that has me guessing. Glad you see *odmore as well Girl Guide. Thank you for looking. Now I need to look for names that are either are or like Podmore in that area.
-
Redmond perhaps.
-
Lots of Codmores in Clare Cork Limerick and Roscome. Will go and replace that R for an N and see what comes up

I am back home in the Dial up dark ages where I can no longer see the entry. Should have thought to photograph the entry. This Thomas was not baptising children except maybe my Peter in 1828. If Mary died very early on , which would explain the lack of knowledge of her that my Greatgran had, then Thomas would have needed a new wife pretty promptly. Could that place name be Kildrina where Thomas and Bridget were from with their baptisms starting from 5th Oct 1834?
I have a post over on the Carlow board relating to this writing request.
Next Day I'm going with Redmond after searching possible names, where they were living and a second look
-
The place looks like Kilgran(e)y, which is not a million miles from Kildreenagh.
-
Thanks Dublin 1850. Now why did I not see that? I thought I had looked carefully for a townland starting with K and a g near the beginning. Must have been having a Snr moment :D
-
I see Redmond as the most likely.
As regards James, it looks like .olan as you suggest. Nolan, Tolan or Folan worth checking, the most common being Nolan.
-
I see Redmond too.

Thanks all. I have added Mary Redmond to my tree. When I first got REALLY interested some years ago and bought the certificates to make the leap from NZ back to UK and Ireland I had theorised that Peter Doyle's Mother must have died when he was very young hence her name not being on his 1899 death certificate. Later I learnt about naming patterns. Then later when I got lucky on my Greatgreatgrans parents (only a death notice for her but it made mention of a brother in Melbourne with a distinctive and quite famous name) and added to my theory that her name would be some combo of Mary Ellen, the second girl born to Peter Doyle.
So unless someone can pull a Thomas Doyle and Mary Redmond baptising children, elsewhere, from 1828 onwards or distinctive emmigration info (I am sure there will be numerous Thomas and Mary Doyles in USA census) I'm going with Mary Redmond as she she seems to fit my theory ;D
