Would this be Martin Forde born 7 Nov 1841 in Galway. Baptised 18 Nov. Parents Edmund and Bridgida? Maybe no as there seems to be a few Martin Forde's on the census returns, all from Galway. I have found a baptism for an Anna Forde, parents Martin Forde and Brigida Walsh.
There is also a baptism for a Mary Keefe, parents Patrick Keefe and Catherine Keefe Forde. Do you have any more info. on any of the people you are searching for?

Patrick Keefe & Catherine Forde’s marriage in 1876.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy....61/8088978.pdf
Groom lived in Ballynamona. His father John is listed in Griffiths as having plot 8 (just over 5 acres) plus a half share of plot 9 (13 acres) with Anne Keefe. Other Keefes nearby. Families all gone by the 1901 census.
Bride lived in Lehanagh. Her father Thomas is listed in Griffiths Valuation where he had plot 8, a 13 acre farm. There were a couple of other Fords nearby, possibly relations.

Julia Raftery married James Ford in 1875. His father was Thomas Forde, so looks like a brother to Catherine Ford(e).

For links to Irish websites see the 'stickies' at the top of the main Ireland forum.
There may also be some in the individual county forums - I haven't checked.
It's only in about the last ten (or even less) years that Irish records have become available online.
Remember also that a lot of records were lost in the fire at the Public Record Office in Dublin 1922.
Also try putting 'Irish genealogy records' into a search engine and see what results you get.Vulcan XH558 - “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”
