My great grandmother Ellen Tiernan born in 1854 came during the famine from County Leitrim . Parish is listed as Gortletteragh
At her wedding to Maurice Kirwin her parents are listed as Rosa Ward and Barney Tiernan
Unsure if they came with her.
A Charles Tiernan was at the baptism of one o her children

The subscription site Roots Ireland has a December 24 1850 baptismal record in Gortletteragh for a Ellen Tiernan with father Bernard Tiernan and mother Rose Wall.
I checked the parish register and it did list Wall.
There was also a Mary Tiernan baptized to the same parents on October 1 1848.
The Gortletteragh baptismal records have a gap between 1840-1848.
There is a Bernard Tiernan who died in 1864. He lived in Derreen townland Mohill civil parish. Not sure if this is your Bernard. Age 72.

I found five children for Rose and Bernard. Note that one of them was baptized in Drumlish Catholic parish in Longford; the parish is on the Leitrim border.
