Hi there.
Could someone please look for a marriage of a MATTHEW Mullaney to Bridget Conway, most likely in Baltimore Maryland, some time around 1864-65.
Mathew and Bridget had 2 daughters (Kate and Ella as seen in the 1880 census) but there is also an older girl (Mary Conway) who lives with the family from a young age as well. I think she is the step daughter although she is never identified as such. Which means Bridget may have been previously married. If Bridgets first married name was Conway, then I have NO IDEA what her maiden name was.

Below are 2 possible choices for Mary Conway's parents - although I think the Bridget married to Thomas is more likely, because that one says Mary was born in Maryland which she maintains throughout all census records. The other Mary Conway (with the father named John) was born in Pennsylvania which does not match Mary's census records.

If you can find a marriage - or even BOTH marriages for Bridget, I would be very grateful and would then be able to confirm that Mary was a step daughter to Matthew Mullaney and a half sister to Ella.
Thank you.
