Mary McGrath, Ireland to the US in 1846-1849

Mary McGrath, Ireland to the US in 1846-1849

Surnames: McGrath Murphy Garvey
I am trying to find a passenger listing of the arrival of a Mary McGrath born about 1815/16 in Knocklong Parish, County of Limerick, Ireland. She was here in Illinois by May,1850 when she married John Murphy. Her father was Christopher McGrath and Mary Garvey and she may have had brothers Daniel and Owen.

I found a listing in the "U.S. and Canada, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s" that could be her but how do I go about finding the ship or getting a copy of this manifest or more information about this? It says the arrival year was 1846 in New York, New York but not much more. (Source Publication: 2597.48.2, page 188).

Any suggestions on where to go now? I really would like to figure out just when she arrived and where but with a name like Mary McGrath the going is pretty slow. Thank you in advance for any help.
