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:

1901 census also confirms there were various households per street number.
"As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know."  - Donald Rumsfeld
