Hello I would love more information on some of my ancestors :- Mary Finnegan born 1789 - 1869 born in Templeboy in Sligo who married Patrick Flatly born about 1785. They had a daughter called Mary Flatly born 1830 died in The poorhouse in Greenock 1907. Mary Finnegan's parents were Andrew born about 1759 and Bridget Kilmartin born also about 1759. Many thanks for any help with this :-)

Welcome back to Ireland Reaching Out!
Below is a transcription of the October 2, 1816 marriage for Patrick and Mary Finigan. I did not find a baptismal record for Mary or any siblings but there is a ten year gap in baptismal records from 1816-1826 and I'm wondering if Mary was born in that gap period. https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0756

Oh wow!! so so very pleased you have confirmed where they are from. Thank you so much, now that it is narrowed down so much I can find out there story hopefully. Mary was born about 1830 but that is a guesstimate so could well have been born earlier, I shall get Mary's death certificate and work her date of birth from there. So so delighted to have finally got a firm foot with my ancestors home town. :-D
