Rose Donnelly connection

Classification: Query
Surnames: Donnelly Smith Eastwood Courtney Madden Brandon
I have seen the name Rose Donnelly on message boards before and did not know if she was related to my line as I don't yet have a lot of information. Several of my Donnellys settled in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, USA. I came across a Rose Donnelly in Beaver Falls born in Ireland about 1849. She is a widow living with her daughter and son-in-law Harry and Mary Brandon. She immigrated in 1867. My Donnellys (and the next gereration down) did not arrive until around 1905. Does anyone know if she is related to my Donnellys?

My grandfather is Terence Donnelly.

Terence Donnelly b. 13 Dec 1891 in Cambuslang, Scotland
Parents: John Donnelly b. about 1851 in Ireland
Louisa Smith b. about 1860 in England
Married 22 November 1878 Kinning Park Lanarkshire
Other children of Terence and Louisa: Patrick (Pete), James, George, Charles, Louisa, David. Several moved to the United States to Beaver Falls. Terence moved to Canada.

John Donnelly's parents on his marriage certificate:
Terrence Donnelly + Martha Madden (born about 1825+or-)
I presume they were born in Ireland like John but maybe not.
I have found no further information as yet.

Louisa Smith's parents were:
Sergeant William Smith + Maria Eastwood
Maria also married a Courtney after William's death.
Maria was born in Ireland.
I have no further info here either.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
