The existence of the marriage from the same address is at least interesting, showing potential kin at the same address. . It is never safe to assume that everything is the way it seems to be - you must allow for the usual variables, rather than taking one piece of information, setting it in stone and then arguing from it. Your first assertion that Bridget and Malchi Hyland were uncle and aunt of the children has never ebbn backed by evidence but has given a lot of peo-ple a lot of work to try to make sense of it. A lot of more experienced people have offered you help here - please take what has been found on board rather than digging your heels in and rejecting the work other people have done on your behalf.
