Is there documentation for the correct set of parents for Mary, especially since she has conflicting sets of parents attached to her?

My interest is that I was communicating recently with a descendant of Mary's who is a DNA match to both me and to my son on his paternal side. My son has an ancestor John Doyle at this link, my son's 8th ggf, and since he and Mary were both born in Wicklow, it seems likely they'd be related 'somehow' but I haven't found their connection:

John Doyle

I have my son's line connected on Ancestry but they are only showing a cousin connection here on Geni rather than John being his direct, so there are some missing connections on that branch as well. They aren't connected here on Geni, but Ancestry trees show John's parents as Elizabeth (Stokes) Doyle and John Doyle / Doyley. I don't know how accurate those connections are either since John's Wiki page doesn't list his parents. Ancestry shows that John Doyley was originally from England and migrated to Ireland where his son John Doyle was born and for whatever reason the surname changed had changed over time from d'Oyley in England to Doyley and eventually to just Doyle in Ireland.

Until I was contacted about the Doyle line, I had forgotten my son even had Doyle ancestry on his paternal side, so I don't know very much about them at all.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
