I have run into a brick wall in Ireland, possibly Galway. My 3rd great parents were born & married
In the 1870 census they were in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. They were also in Ohio, where one son was born and the rest of their children were born in Pittsburg. David Maloney Born 1830 Ireland married abt 1850 Ireland Died 1881 Pittsburg PA Bridget McDonough Born 1830 Ireland Married abt 1850 Ireland Died 1899 Pittsburg Pa
Children - Born Ireland - Catherine born 1852, Ellen, born 1855, Born Ohio - John J 1857, Born Pittsburg Pa - Michael Joseph 1860, Mary A 1855

Thanks for your help. Some of the sites I have looked into & others are new to me. I will look into the new ones.

The main resources for 19th century Irish research are:
Civil Registration:
Non-Catholic Marriages from 1845 onwards, all births, deaths and marriages from 1864. See irishgenealogy.ie
Church Records:
Catholics: Most records online (some missing or online images are poor quality). Outside of the main cities, most parishes started keeping records only in 1828.
Anglicans and Presbyterians: Many records destroyed, most surviving records offline. Contact the parishes or Dioceses for more information.
Census:
1901 and 1911 survive in full, very small percentages form 1841 and 1851 survive.
The Griffith's Valuation is a very important census substitute. The Register of Deeds may be useful if your ancestors or their landlords were rich enough to want their contracts and financial documents properly stored.
The website https://genealogy.nationalarchives.ie/ from the National Archives has the censuses and various other miscellaneous sources such as Land Taxes (Tithes) and wills/probates.

If you cannot locate exact place of origin in any of the three naturalization documents in the US, it's super tough to go to Ireland. I did a preliminary search on FindMyPast and RootsIreland. I could not locate any records for Catherine and Ellen Maloney in Ireland births nor the marriage records of their parents David Maloney and Bridget McDonough. If they truly are from County Galway, there are many gaps in their records.
Here's some possible birth records for David Maloney and Bridget McDonough, but to verify them another record to corroborate the info is necessary. These possible records are based on the naming pattern of David and Bridget's children, which David and Bridget may or may not have used. It's a good starting point, although it's an educated guess, if you cannot get the naturalization docs.
David's possible birth in Co. Limerick--https://www.findmypast.com/transcript?id=IRE/PRS/BAP/5975865;
Bridget's got four possible records in Co. Galway--https://www.findmypast.com/transcript?id=IRE/PRS/BAP/7374659; and

I have this problem on several of my Irish lines, records simply do not exist, but DNA has helped me with major breakthroughs on 4-5 of my lines. Have you submitted your DNA to Gedmatch and then submitted Gedmatch to the various DNA FaceBook sites for County Galway and/or Ireland?
It's true that most cousin matches have poor trees so I spend a lot of my time researching my cousins' pedigrees and I have made connections that way too.
Let us know how that goes.
