https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=IRE/PETTYS/4619496/00390/2177199Gerard's name

Recorded on the marriage cert of his son James Gourley, living at Knockrawer, Castlefin, Donegal; Jarard Gourley, Farmer; married on 27 Aug 1913
Two queries is he likely to have been alive in 1879 as he owed £1.1.0 Poor Rate up to 14 May 1879 or could his name be still on the record as the head of the house and already have died? What credence can i give to Gerard's details on his children's marriage certs.
Thanks for any information received. Angela
