Murtagh Stephen McDonnell and Mary Ann Bergan

I recently discovered a marriage notice for the above couple - 5 Jan 1870 in Ballarat. Murtagh was a son of John McDonnell, Rossla. Is that a town? I haven't been able to pinpoint a location of that name. Mary Ann was a daughter of William of Sragh, Queen's county, Ireland. Murtagh seems to have died 13 Oct 1923 in Cowra, NSW. Mary Ann and her sister, Sarah, emigrated to Australia while a number of their siblings ended up in Cayuga county, New York, USA. I'd like to see if I can find more on Murtagh and Mary Ann's family. Any help is appreciated!
