Margaret may have had a brother David who married Margaret Ferguson also in Clonlum area.
(Two Donnelly witnesses on marriage cert.)
 

Here's that marriage - 3 November 1875 at Jonesborough Parish Church. Father of the groom, Hamilton Devonport.

It's "Church of Jonesboro" [a variation of Jonesborough] and 'rector' doesn't appear on the marriage registration.

Ah, bottom of page not bottom of their marriage entry- It's a poorly written Jonesboro and yes, rector. I think his name is James R. Scott not R. Scott.

I wonder if the Canon Law of the Church of Ireland or Roman Catholic Church would prevent a second marriage (and hence child birth registrations) of the anonymous father of both Robert and James.
