Her father, John Donohoe’s occupation is described as ‘Road Contracts’. That could be labourer to business man, I suppose.
Her address is 16 Ardee Street.
I can see some newspaper snippets from 1860s which mention John Donohoe, Chamber Street but also William Donohoe, Ardee Street. There is mention of Thomas Martin, 16 Ardee Street.
I can’t access them further.

Birth of William John Gibbs in Castlebar district, 1870:
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details-civil/d0f9c67868352
The 14th Hussars must have moved from Curragh to Castlebar soon after his parents married.
. Returning to England in 1860 (leaving their horses, which included a number of Arabian remounts, in India), the Regiment was renamed the 14th (King's) Hussars, with new uniforms and busbies featuring yellow busby-bags. Thereafter they were stationed in Ireland, then England where they assumed policing duties during rioting in Manchester in 1862. They returned to Ireland in 1868, and embarked for India (Bangalore) in 1876
per http://britishcavalryregiments.com/34-14H/14H.html
The 14th Hussars' deployment to Curragh seems to have been in May 1868. The chap at https://www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/armyunits/britishcavalry/14thhussarsmoleaccount.htm was recruited by a Sergeant Gibbs at Charing Cross.

The following 1864 marriage record has a relevant surname and address for the bride, but with different father's details.
The surname Donohoe was hardly rare for that era. And maybe 16 Ardee St. was multi occupancy - I haven't checked (but note the address for one of the witnesses).
So I'm far from convinced that this is related... but just on the slight off chance it might be, I thought it better to mention it than not, if only to have it eliminated:

Wow.. thank you for all of you for finding the information.. the military bit was really interesting... was hoping there would be a photo of William Gibb . But he did get a mention in Moles biography he wrote.
William and Elizabeth Mary moved about a bit in England before he got a job at Parkhurst Isle of Wight as a prison guard... he died a few years after the 1881, In 1891 Elizabeth Mary is a widow and running a pub on the isle of wight..
