I have successfully traced my great-grandfather and his wife through the 1901 Census.

Lisnagavragh, Tisrara, Athlone, Roscommon, Ireland
Patrick McDonnell -45- wife Bridget -45-
Children: William -12- John -10- Michael -8-
Also living with them Thomas Rorke -45-
I know that Rorke was Bridget's maiden name

I also know Patrick's father was John McDonnell and his mother was Bridget (Briene - not sure of spelling).

Also in the 1901 census I have found:

Cloonlaughnan, Tisara, Athlone, Roscommon
Bridget McDonnell -78- farmer/widow
No other occupants

The age is right, the location is close, but I'm not sure what to do next. Her maiden name was Briene (not sure of spelling).

If anyone has advice that would be greatly appreciated.
