Thanks very much to both of you.

Really appreciate the feedback and links. I am posting a photo of the marriage certificate. I probably need to go another generation back if I can manage it to make sure that William and Matthew were brothers. However, as Matthew came from Drum it explains the link there. I got a link to William Kells in 4 Derrins in the Parish of Currin Barony Dartree in Griffiths Valuation on 1/05/1858. He had leased a house and land from John Madden.

Looking at that on the map it would explain why they were married in Castleblayney rather than Drum as it was nearer. However, looking at the links it seems that Matthew was from Drum and that is possibly why the family moved to Drumswords

Thanks again for all your help
Robert

On looking at the dates again it is possible that Matthew was Thomas brother not Uncle

"....Looking at that on the map it would explain why they were married in Castleblayney...."

?? They didn't marry in Castleblaney!!  They married Derryvally!!
as per Cert!!

First Ballybay Presbyterian church is of social significance to the local Presbyterian community, acting as the sole Presbyterian church, particularly following the closure of Derryvally Presbyterian Church and Cahans Presbyterian Church in 1972.

First Ballybay was constructed in 1786 over an 'Irish mile' from Ballybay, as was the law at the time (Second Ballybay was constructed in the town about 1834).

 In 1800 a disagreement in the Derryvally congregation concerning the appointment of a new minister resulted in the construction of Derryvally Presbyterian church only two hundred yards to the north-east
