PICKERING/PICKERAM and WILSON

[Peggy13]

I have another Henry Pickering on my tree, father George although I don't know Henry's mother's name. Henry was born abt 1839 and married Sarah Brown Apr 26, 1881 in the Presbyterian Church in Magherafetl. Sarah's father was Thomas.
Henry died Jan 13, 1918 and his cousin Wesley McGuckin was present. i have learned that Wesley was John Wesley McGuckin and he married Elizabeth Hipson in 1872 in Desertmartin and his father was John. Does anyone have any idea how Henry Pickering and Wesley McGuckin are cousins? I have been trying to figure that one out.
Thanks for any help.
