Just not sure where Darby lived or where the Toomy family came from.

Well here is a possibility - just a possibility.
Darby Kehoe is listed in the 1826 tythe valuation for Barretstown, Co. Dublin.

Co. Dublin you say? Well Ballymore Eustace and surrounding area was part of Dublin until the 1830s, when it was transferred to Kildare.

From maps, looks like Barretstown lies within the Catholic parish of Ballymore Eustace.

This Darby is a substantial farmer - is that consistent with what is known of the family?

Another thought - if Patrick Keough was part of the Irish Constabulary (as it then was). Didn't their records record his occupation before joining?

I can only find one relevant Toomy in the tythe valuations, and as it happens, it looks like she is also located in Catholic Parish of Ballymore Eustace.

Note: The areas in the tythe valuations are in Irish, not English, acres.

Darby is a common anglicization for the Irish name Dermot or Dermott,  Diarmaid, etc

I have seen it used for Jeremiah too.

Catherine Toomy, widow, townland of Dunboyke [official OSI spelling], civil parish of Hollywood, Co. Wicklow, 1833.

That may be the correct family.
