Attached is Betham’s note of the marriage licence for Irwin Stewart* and Elizabeth MacDaniel. This can be viewed on Findmypast (searchable), or for free on familysearch (not so easy to search).
*According to Three Hundred Years in Innishowen, Irwin and his son Charles McDaniel always signed their name “Stewart” – it seems that later generations changed it to “Stuart”.
Here is an extract from the will of James “Fatty” Stewart, the uncle of Elizabeth McDaniel (also from Betham):
