My 3x Great Grandparents were:  William Baker & Mary (last name unknown), married 1815 in County Cavan.  William was born abt. 1795 in ireland and died abt. 1835 in Drumcrow Townland, County Cavan, Killashandra Parish.  Mary (his wife), was born abt. 1788 and died sometime after June 6, 1841 (when Ireland census was taken).

They had at least four children that I know of:
