Carolyn, Peter Mcdonough married Rose Leydon in Ireland in 1836 and they had a daughter Catherine in Ireland in 1837.
They were in England by 1844 when their daughter Rose was born in 1844. Peter's wife died in 1847 and in 1851 he was in Newcastle with both daughters and a tribe of other McDonoughs who could well be part of my known family.
In 1861 I can't find Thomas or either of his girls.
His daughter Rose married Patrick McCormack in June 1864 and in 1871 they were in Newcastle with children John ,Mary and Catherine. They has a daughter Rose McCormack in 1875 and I think Patrick McCormack died a little while before the birth. Peter McDonough died in Newcastle in 1879, I think.
1881 I can find NONE of the family.
John McCormack (son of Patrick & Rose) married Isabella in 1891 and I have been able to trace this family through census from 1891 onwards.(they had a daughter Rose McCormack born in 1894.)
Daughter Rose McCormack (sister of John) next appears in 1897 when she married John George Topping. I can trace her through the next two census returns.
Catherine was the elder sister of Mrs Rose McCormack and there is a possible marriage in Newcastle in 1859 and another in Bellingham in 1860. However, I have not been able to pick up on any of the possible couplings in 1861.:(
To further complicate matters, one of Peter's lodgers in 1851 was a widowed Catherine McDonough, who had children of working age. I THINK this Catherine McDonough could have been my ancestress. I can't find her in 1861 - in 1871 she lived with her son and remained with the family until her death in December 1880. I have her death certificate and burial record, both recent finds. After over 30 years of trying to unearth details about this Irish family, I was so overjoyed to finally get a handle on Catherine and to get the death cert which recorded the name of her late husband, that I wept buckets.

Hope I've posted the names right - I get myself in such a muddle with this lot when I'm trying to explain who is who.
