The Irish naming pattern is certainly in order for the females of the family
www.familysearch.org is good for records after 1864 but you can also find them on an irish history foundation
www.rootsireland.ie The problem is the name Doyle, the most used surname in Ireland followed by Murphy. There were lots of Gorman's too but nothing like Doyle.
You rarely see women's names in the 1800's unless on a parish record and occasionally they will take over a lease on property after a husband's death.
Can you give me the dates for John and Margaret.
Have you tried the census:
www.census.nationalarchives.ie or is this too early or late
Parish records for Carlow are listed on
www.irishgenealogy.ie, but for Wicklow you need to use
www.rootsireland.ie, Wexford records slowly being added but its been 4 years since 8 parish
were posted.
I note you only mention Carlow, Wicklow and Wexford. Leinster Province also includes
the counties, Dublin, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Longford, Louth, Offaly and Westmeath
You might be better off pinpointing the Gorman family first. Once you have a civil registration district or a parish you would be well on your way. What Civil Registration District was given on
www.familysearch.org that would be a good clue.
John would be the most common first name for males in Ireland, followed by James, Patrick, Michael.....etc. Women, Mary, Bridget, then others with Catherine being right up there in the top group.
Griffith Valuation property valuation for Wicklow and Wexford was in 1852/53 quite a jump to 1901/1911 it is used as a census substitute, it was done throughout Ireland between 1846-1864.
