Hi,
   The marriage took place in Millisle Presbyterian Church on 31 Dec 1903 and the father appears to have been William.
    I have also found an Isabella Shanks born to William Shanks and Elizabeth McConnel on 20 Sept 1869 in Newtownards. 

Regards

Thanks Mary for the info. I have found an obscure note linking the fathers names.
John Shanks was married to a Mary Clark. and William Boyd was married to a Sarah McGill.
Unfortunately i have no dates. Maybe this info could lead to marriage dates ?

Hi All
Richard's brother John Tinto, was also supposed to have married at Millisle to Selina Lowry about 1901 or 1902. Possibly both dates
According to my Tree the first poster and I would be 4th cousins twice removed, but havent got down to their generation yet
