One clue here- John Stuart, Donaghadee "husband of Maria Kelly; father of Elizabeth b. 25 Mar 1869"
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rosdavies/SURNAMES/S/StuSy.htm
Martin Stuart born 26 MAY 1866 Donaghadee (page 859 in civil register).
Do the birth certificate list John's occupation as teacher?

Have you checked in directories to see if teacher in Donaghadee is listed and if that teacher is John Stuart? There are links to various directories here-
