    I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland and did not find a baptismal record for Frank (Francis) Dorsey in Co. Galway around 1851. It is possible that the spelling was Darcy or D'arcy in Ireland but no record turned up with that surname.

    For Bridget Davis, I located a March 20 1853 baptismal record in Clifden RC parish with father Patrick Davis and mother Anne Cloherty.  did not find any records for siblings or a marriage record.

    The 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Omey civil parish (which includes Clifden) show two Patrick Davis records: one in Leagaun townland and the other on Omey Island in a place called Sturrakeen. One or the other could be the father of Bridget.
