Census 
1901 Ireland Census - James Staunton and Margaret Tierney James (34) and Margaret (28) are married for 10 years and live in James home of Snugborough. They have one child - Thomas who is 1 year old. James's mother Honor Staunton lives with them - now a 65-year-old widow.
They also have a 4-year-old boy living with them - he is listed as James Tiernan (presumably Tierney) a nephew.
James was born to John Tierney and Bridget Staunton - John was Margaret's brother, I can't yet confirm if Bridget is related to the Staunton family. Bridget dies as a result of childbirth in May 1900.
1911 Ireland Census - James Staunton and Margaret Tierney James (45) and Maggie (38) are still living in the same house, neighbours to his brother John and her sister Ann (who also married). They now have three children - Thomas is now 10, John 9 and Mary Josephine is 6.
They say they are married for 19 years, have three children born alive and three children still alive. They would subsequently lose three babies before the birth of their final daughter Rita.
Honor, James mother, is 76 and still lives with the family as does their nephew James Tierney who is now 14.
Birth Records 
Margaret Tierney - Birth Registration 8 Sep 1872
Margaret to John Tiernan, Snugborough and Anne Tiernan formerly McHale
,
NB: The parish records state Maggie's DOB as 5th and the baptism as the 8th - in personal research I've found that it really isn't an uncommon practice to take the baptism date as the child's official birthday - the former date being dropped.
