Should that be MagOOlaghan rather than MagOlaghan? (You can edit your message to change it, if so.)

I don't know whether you'd ever be able to find out when they emigrated -- since he's the youngest child in the household, born c1851 in Ireland, you can't gauge it by the births of any children.

Entries for that surname at

http://www.freebmd.org.uk

start with the marriage of Thomas in 1864 -- no entry for the death of William's father, that is. So presumably he died in Ireland before the family emigrated.

Have you checked all the censuses? Sometimes you get a bit more info on one rather than the standard "Ireland". Unfortunately there are no records for people moving from Ireland to England.

Can you buy the childrens birth certs for the parents full names? Take it they married in Ireland?
