Thanks very much for that.  Do you know, does that mean they were married in the RC Church in Toome or the Chaple at Moneyglass?

The RC chapel in Toome was only built in the 1960,s so I guess that answers that question.

Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland of 1837 said about Duneane that 'the R. C. parish is co-extensive with that of the Established Church; there are chapels at Moneyglass and Cargin, the former built in 1826.'

The marriage record shows the marriage was at the Roman Catholic Chapel of Moneyglass.

Sorry, I thought Kane57 meant the 1856 marriage.

Apologies I’m not making this very clear.  My confusion is regarding the name of the Chapel in Moneyglass. The civil records for the marriage of Thomas McMullan (1915) record the chapel as St Mary’s Moneyglass when in fact the current name is Our Lady of Lourdes, Moneyglass.  Was there a name change?

I’m sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I think it used to be historically that the church in a locality was the  Church of Ireland and Catholic places of worship were referred to as Chapels.
In records, it usually says ‘chapel of …’ and then the parish.
The present church was built after your marriage and perhaps then it was dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes.
