Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland and found an 1860 marriage for Bernard and Sarah in the Mohill Church of Ireland church. The name of Bernard's father was shown (Patrick) but not the father of Sarah. See below. I was unable to locate the baptismal records for Bernard and Sarah. Did they emigrate or stay in Ireland?

Thanks for your reply.
I have found that Sarahs parents are Peter Quinn b1793-1859 and Sarah Jane 'Martha' Erskine b1803-1863.
Peter died Nov 23, 1859, Mohill, Leitrim.
Patrick Donnelly - his wife is Ann Maher b1825 but no death date.
Bernard and Sarah migrated to NewZealand soon after their marriage as their first child was born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1861.

You may want to consider DNA testing.
You may also want to add Bernard and Sarah's story to our XO Chronicles site and maybe someone will see a possible connection https://www.irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/ancestor-dat…
