His second wife Catherine Carroll have the following children recorded (Please note the registry is very incomplete, not all Baptisms were entered in the Book) as well as those recorded names and the distance from the first marriage it may be assumed there may be more children from the first marriage, Records were very scarce from 1835-1848.

The Carroll’s were herdsmen to the Clonbrock Estate, in the last division of the estate in 1955 period the same Carroll’s received the best portion of land on the estate, they had their own herdsman house provided by the Lord Clonbrock. The Bradshaw’s were probably House staff as well as Bridget Page. There are not names that are native to our parish. I have just found a Baptism for a Pat Page, parents Joseph Page and Mary Finaghty 1935 March 12th proves that Bridget had family in the area.
Also the names of the first Communion children Honora, John and William must be the
second marriage.
Then you have sponsors names John Keogh, William Keogh, may be from
the first marriage.
The first Communion names could be teenagers at that time. Church
rules weren’t as organized as they are now. Our National Schools started in 1855-1856.
I don’t think I can be any further help to you with your family tree but you should consider the famous Jack Keogh as one of the descendants of the family, some of his escapades are still talked about.
When he escaped to the U.S. he is supposed to have got married and had children. He came back from the U.S. in the early forties on his own, and died some years later. Quite a character.
