Welcome to ireland Reaching Out!
The RC records for Toomevara do not start until 1831 http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0810 so a baptismal record for William is likely not available..
Based on the location for Toomevara RC parish and looking at 1825 Tithe Applotment data, William likely came from Aghnameadle civil parish but without knowing his father's name, we could not determine the townland.
Have you considered autosomal DNA testing?

Hello Madigan,
My 4 x Great Grandmother was Margaret Tierney born in parish of Aghnameadle, Toomevara in about 1780 to 1790 by my estimate. I don't know who her parents or siblings were. Have you done your DNA on Ancestry by any chance?
