The links I have posted should help you trace more of this family, and to get back further than the civil registrations some useful sources are 

Parish records
Tells you what records are available where:

Also Griffith valuation of Ireland shows the landowner and occupiers in about 1850/60's
http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/

This Land can be traced via the valuation revision books
https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/services/searching-valuation-revision-books

Also, Wills are available to search online for Northern Ireland at 
https://apps.proni.gov.uk/WillsCalendar_IE/WillsSearch.aspx

Some have images, for post 1900 wills - the records are all available in person at the public records office in Belfast

There were no father's details provided for Evelyn Porter in the record of marriage to David Montgomery in 1930 (only the groom's father's details were provided), consistent with her illegitimate birth to Annie Mary Porter previously posted at Reply #4.

The birth registration for Evelyn's mother, Annie Mary Porter, in 1892:
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1892/02362/1882426.pdf

The marriage of Annie Mary Porter's parents, William John Porter and Mary Jane Waterson, in 1881:

Just a possibility for the birth of David Montgomery senior, the location and timeframe are reasonable, as are the father's details as per the 1888 marriage to Mary Anne Kane:

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1865/03589/2323216.pdf

A possible marriage for the parents of the above David Montgomery took place in a Presbyterian church in Maghera parish on 9 October 1857 between Robert Montgomery and Jane McCracken of Carricknakielt, 24 year old bachelor Robert was a servant, the son of John Montgomery a farmer, 21 year old spinster Jane was the daughter of James McCracken, a butcher, a Hugh Bradley and William Long were the witnesses.
