Irish family search

I'm looking for information on Cambria County residents, Thomas Brannigan and his wife Mary Ellen Gallagher, as well as on their daughter-in-law Rosella Coughenour (daughter of Newton and Ada Baker Coughenour).
I think Thomas and Mary Ellen were married ca. 1880 (give or take five years), and that Thomas might have been from Dublin. Would like to know where in Ireland both were from, and any other information about them.
Their granddaughter, Julia, was baptised in the St. John Gualbert's Co-Cathedral in 1916. So that might be a starting point. Does anyone know if the cathedral records are accessible?
And were there any other highschools (Catholic?) in/near Johnstown, other than Reade?
Many thanks, and especial thanks to the site owners and managers. It's wonderful to have so much information available!
