Hi,
   In 1896 Frank Kearney married Brigid Scullion in Bellaghy Roman Catholic Church. I can find two possible sets of parents:-
1868 Bridget Scullion born to Patrick Scullion and Ellen Scullion who were married in Bellaghy R.C. Church in 1858.
1870 Bridget Scullion born to Thomas Scullion and Margaret Birt who married in Bellaghy R.C. Church in 1859

 In both cases the names were spelled SCULLEN at the marriages but Scullion at the births.

Regards

thank you for your help, I had found a possible birth for Bridget in 1873, but despite my best efforts I can't find any details of the 2 possible births you suggest, searching in the birth index in ancestry.co.uk. I am quite new to this especially to trying to trace the northern irish part of my family so probably cant find them due to my lack of experience. Can you please advise where to find these listed. Many thanks

Playing around with the marriage index search facility on the RootsIreland website indicates that the name they hold for Frank Kearney's father is James Kearney and that for Brigid Scullion's father is John Scullion. The actual record content is pay to view.

There is the following familysearch record for Bridget Scullion to father John and mother Martha McAteer...

...but there nothing else to corroborate this being the right one and the date is slightly early compared to the following 1901 / 1911 census records, so only worth noting for the moment until you can rule in or out:
