This is the marriage of Martin Finan and Mary Farrell
Kilkeevin (Castlerea) June 22nd 1863

I'd go with this one unless you can found one were it says who the Parents were or were they are from

Sadly, parish records don’t give the parents and civil records didn’t begin until 1864.
The witnesses don’t have family names.
We could see if there are baptisms for the children with family Godparents.

Robert,
Do you know that Mary Anne survived and married?
There are deaths in Drogheda here https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/  but too early for online.
1864 - Mary Anne Farrell, 20 yrs
1865 Mary Farrell, 21 yrs
1865 Mary Farrell 19 yrs

Who is Anne Farrell, the informant at Peter's death

That I don't no. I taught she married Martin Finan but know I think she might not have. If someone could find the place of death of these 3 Mary's you have listed that might help.

As for the Anne Farrell on Peter Farrell death recrod I don't no. I think she could be a granddaughter or Daughter-in-law as I no Peter had 4 son's and of them I no that only 2 are married one died unmarried and the other I can't find any info on.

Just wondered if she might be Anne but i doubt it.
I had a quick look to see if she was a witness to her sisters’ marriages but no.
You would have to send for those death certificates to check. I suppose the Mary Ann who died in 1864 would be most likely.

Everything so far is entirely consistent with OP being a victim of Anc*stry's notoriously inaccurate "hint" system. Compounded by others accepting these hints.

Here is a question that should have been addressed at the start: what were the social circumstance of the Farrell family? Could Mary Ann possibly have moved 170 km to get married?
My hint - not unless she was of high social class.

So not a witness at his marriage either.
