Mary's death record also indicates she was born in Ireland.  A delayed birth record for daughter Margaret indicates that her mother was born in Newtownards while her father was born in Belfast. By all accounts and evidence they were married in New Brunswick or perhaps they were married in Ireland before coming to Canada.  Have you found any evidence for either?

Actually, here's the reference to their marriage in 1854 in NB:

Mary is said to have been from St. Patrick, Charlotte County.
