Find Ancestors

Hi there.
Can anybody help me with the above.
She was born in Dublin but moved to Birkenhead in the late 1850's early 60's.
Ancestry shows her with 3 brothers, Charles, Stephen and Peter.
She married George Sandwell in 1885 in Margate. (GR).
The 1871 census shows an Agnes Behan with the same 3 brothers.
Her dad was Thomas Behan B c1830 in Dublin. (ancestry).
Is the Agnes in the 1871 census my Mary Agnes Theresa Behan?
At a guess I would say it is but it pays to be sure.
Also, any info on her mother?
Any help would be good.
Thanks
Glengyle

How do you know the year of her father's birth?

If you have census info....please post it for us to see.

We shouldn't have to go searching for it
