... Here is James' 1872 birth to Charles Elliott and Margaret Duncan:
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1872/03223/2181490.pdf


FamilySearch shows a marriage at Inishkeel on 14 April 1864 between Charles Elliott and Margaret Duncan, both parties' fathers recorded as Charles.  The image of the civil marriage registration isn't yet uploaded to the 'IrishGenealogy' website, but it should become available to view there (for free) in due course.

This 1867 birth registration looks like a possible candidate for Susan McConnell:
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/supp_births/2343751x.pdf

A marriage transcription for Ardara Church of Ireland parish on 7 March 1850 shows a farmer called John McConnell of 'Drumittan' marrying an Eliza Lamont of 'Meeanaragan', the two fathers recorded as William McConnell and George Lamont.

Hi troops - any McClures in this Elliott thread?
I have a Sarah McClure born 1850 in Convoy who married George Elliott at Bohanboy in 1884.

Cheers

Oh my goodness gaffy & Sinann u have been busy!!! thanks so much for all your info!! I was soooo excited when I found all the things u  both had been posting. I have been trying to find out for sure info on my Elliott family for almost 5 years now since I started this search. I had guessed the James Duncan Elliott's mom's surname might be Duncan as I had read that a lot of time the middle name of the kids would have the mom's surname. So I had searched for a Duncan mom and Elliott father before finding them. But I never had a birth certificate with all their names on it so that would show me I had the right ones. But now that I have it , thanks so much, I know for sure who they are and what the father's name of both are too.
My grandfather told me  that  he thought his grandfather or James Duncan's grandfather came from Scotland, he was a widower? with 2 sons, but Grampy wasn't too sure if he remembered that right. But at least now I know the names of my 3rd great grandfathers and I never thought that would happen!! Also my great uncle George's birth cert & Grampy's birth certificate!! My gr grandparents m. cert..this is better than Christmas! I am so very excited and thankful for all of your help and my son,  is going to be excited too. :-)   I haven't finished reading all the links yet, as I just wanted to tell u all what a wonderful gift u have given to me and how very much I appreciate it!!

Welcome to RootsChat
There is a George born 6 Dec 1899 in Drumirrin parents James Elliott and Susan McConnell
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1900/02007/1771282.pdf
This looks like the family in 1901
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Donegal/Glengesh/Drumerrin/1175111/
And 1911
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Donegal/Glengesh/Drumirrin/485729/

Doesn't quite match the information you were given but is close.

I see gaffy has found the same family.

Thanks Sinann for the link. Yes I do have those 2 census, sorry I forgot to mention that. I got them from a web site about 5 years ago Proni? when I first started looking for my Irish family. I just went by the names my grandfather gave mom of the names of his siblings. I didn't get to far with them because I wasn't too good at figuring out how to get the info on the Irish Proni site. I haven't tried it again since I got the 1901 & 1911 census. I must give it another go. :-)
