I search the IFHF's online database at ROOTSIRELAND.IE. It has abt 19 million B/M/D and other records for MOST Irish counties. Records before 1863 are increasingly sparse. They are almost non-existant before 1800. Many B/M/D events either weren't recorded, or haven't survived.
For John Minton B 1841 (exact), somewhere in Ireland, with a father forenamed John, and mother Bridget, I found 1 record in Co. Kilkenny. The Kilkenny finding differs from your imputed Roscommon and Galway origin. It may be a false positive.
I found NO B records for the other children and the same for a John and Bridget marriage.
Hope this helps. Good luck and happy new year.
