Please would anyone be able to check two marriages for me?

Thomas George married Janet Martin 21 March 1878 Ballycarry Presbyterian church. The bit I need checking is whether Thomas' father was a sailor or soldier and whether it says deceased. I have a transcription from the UHF but on another mnarriage they transcribed the occupation incorrectly.

The other is
George McKinney married Mary Boles
17 October 1840 Carrickfergus 1st presbyterian church.
I got this from "family search" and wondered if there was any more information.

Thank you

Teresa

The 1840 marriage is pre-civil registration so would probably have to be checked in the church records. For many Presbyterian church marriages pre 1845 the information given is names of bride and groom, date of wedding and names of 2 witnesses. Sometimes with luck the record will list residence of bride and groom.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
