The given marriage date was approximate but actually five years adrift. (I have the record from the Marriage Register of !st Presbyterian Church, Cairnspindle, Islandmagee plus their marriage certificate). Death dates for both are correct along with death dates of the only two of their six children mentioned in the entry. 2) A further search came up with John Magill, son of Arthur Magill and Sarah, born 1839 in Larne. The birth of John and Nancy's eldest daughter, Elizabeth Mary, is in the IGI under Larne so I presume this would have been the Registery Office for Islandmagee? John and Nancy's marriage certificate gives John's father as Arthur Magill. Nancy's father was Capt. John Mawhinney. In both instances there is the mind-blowing message: "Record submitted after 1991 by a member of the LDS Church. No additional information is available......" (There is nothing in Ancestral File). My question is. Is the person who submitted the entry on this List, please? It takes one's breath away to know there is someone out there who apparently knows something about the family but remains a mystery!
