Do you know when Michael and Mary Brearton were born please.

And could you post a census for them if you have them on one?

My ggrandmother Mary Brearton was born in 1853 Bradford, Yorks. Her parents were Michael and Mary Brearton (nee Mack) both of whom were born in Ireland. I believe that young Mary was their firstborn, but I can not find them in the 1851 nor 1861 census, so I do not know when the parents came from Ireland.
I think Michael died in 1870, but after that, in the 1871 and later census', there are two families of Breartons living in Bradford/Keighley, both with widow Mary as Head. Neither of them have Mary b 1853 on them in 1871 census and by 1881 she had married my ggrandfather Michael Moffit ( or one of its many spellings). I have tried to work this one out for too long and am now totally confused.
I am trying to find out who were my young Mary's siblings, and when did her parents move from Ireland, and from where in Ireland. Hope this makes sense and that someone can please help.
