There is a Margaret McGuinness born 1843 and Bridget born 1850 Harggardstown RC. I got Bridget's age from the Census than looked for the closest Margaret. There is a Margaret in 1856 but she would be too young to be James' mother in 1866.
No idea if these two women are sisters.
This I assume is the Crosby 1901 Census you referred to

These two are NOT sisters Bridget's father is John, Margaret's isn't. It was going too well.

Could it be that the South is a typo for Louth? I know my family bible references Blackrock, Dundalk, Louth



Also... The Finigan is not mine... I searched it out... this is what I found out...
