I feel your pain!!   as I'm looking for the parents and/or relatives of Nicholas and Mary O'Neill, b.1782 in Taghmon, County Wexford, Ireland. Their children were Alexander, Ellen, James, Anastasia, John, Nicholas, Martin and Mary. Nicholas also had a sister named Anastasia, married to Stephen Murphy and numerous children whose names included Moses, Mary, Anastasia, Margaret, Adam, Denis etc..   Alexander was also married to a Catherine,  with three boys, Patrick, Richard and Peter.  They lived close to the Co.s Waterford and Kilkenny but in Co. Wexford which leads  me to think they probably had family in the other two counties as well.   I would  think they just spread out a bit to blend in.... Oh, and they might have dropped the 'O' while in Ireland, but once the ship arrived in America, on July 23, 1841, "arrival day" back came the 'O'.  The ship's manifest shows no 'O'.. on their name, Also... this entire group came over together.   Amazing!!!
