I don't think that is the same family.

Mary Kennedy Gavan was married to James Gavan it seems in 1885 - found this enty last night which I attached. I don't think she would have reverted to her maiden name had her husband passed prior to the census. I see the use of the mysterious Pullahurra on the registry entry

Yes I noticed him, that would be two daughter's called Mary, doesn't add up.
It would be good to know of other living children to find them in the census, I've struggled with this family last night and today.
I also wondered if the Pull could refer to a hole of some kind, but looking a Griffith's I can see anything obvious, unless it's a name for the bog land.

...and his civil birth record - 29 August 1896 at Pulachurra ( or Pulaechurra?). The witness his mother.

Where do you have the family after James’ birth?

As posted earlier, they had a child Bridget in 1891 and residence was Cloonfinane.

More color Mary Kennedy Gavan and James Gavan had a daughter also Mary born on 16 Sep 1893. This woman emigrated to America and is the grandparent of a friend of mine - see attached birth cert

Not saying Mary changed her name just that the enumerator assumed.
If you look at the original neither Mary or Pat filled in the form

Mary's baptism, with the name as Lavin
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000632338#page/135/mode/1up
and a new spelling for that place name.

[Martin514]

Begining record was an 1898 Civil Registry death entry of a 2 year old so that ties with the 1896 baptism
