grandmother of frank stapleton the footballer

I know the feeling granddad died last year but was never very forthcomming about his irish family until the very last going off.wish we`d asked him more and kept on. The only other living member of his family is 90 and not really sure about the family, the younger members are all very unsure a bit like myself.
Anyway lets have a go here you never know something might ring a bell
what I have isn`t much to go on
John Reilly ?1864 (car/van driver) married (we think) Bridget Canavan(very young when conceived first child we think about 16
children -James(1884) John(1887)unknown child (1889) Steven(1890)Mary(1893)Eilleen(1895) Michael (1897)Julia(1900)Patrick (1902)and Christina 1904 we are not sure if this is the family but was the only one that we found so far that could be.
John married Margaret Colmey (july 1909 and their first child John was born 1909)his sister Mary Anne married The Stapleton connection.

All the Reilly connections seem to be from around the summerhill area of Dublin.
This is probably of no connection to yours but it would be nice if there was
