Have you searched Irish Genealogy as aghadowey advised?

Handier for everyone if you include Links to records being cited.

I was referring to Andrew being Baptist and born Armagh. He is stated as widower even though Rachel is alive and living with son Lennox Johnston. Sorry to be unclear.
I do use irishgenealogy a lot. But I didn’t find the death of Andrew’s first wife Nancy there or on Groni. Andrew says he is a widower when he marries Rachel in 1875. But...

No problem.

"Andrew says he is a widower when he marries Rachel in 1875. But..."    Any clues from Witnesses names etc?

Was in at a Church?

The marriage was at Wood’sChapel, COI, IN Co. Derry. Witnesses John Ferguson and Joseph Speers. I don’t know the connection to these witnesses. I had a try at sending a link.

The problem I found with the name Nancy was very often it was a pet name, not their formal one.

Using your thought, hallmark, I looked under Agnes and found Nancy's death on Apr 15, 1871, age 30, carpenter's wife, chronic gastritis for 11 months, in Urble/Urbal, Coagh, Cookstown, Andrew Johnston was present. It was on Groni and I can't seem to send the link.
I was thinking about other children. Since Andrew's father was Joseph, I am guessing he might have had a son Joseph prior to his son William (born 1865). William was Nancy's father so William born 1865 likely to be second son. It is too bad that civil records give no indication of the church that the family belonged to so people could look further there.
Andrew's first marriage was at the Registrar's office, Cookstown, witnesses James Wallace and Margaret McKeowne.
The person present at William Johnston's death in 1875 was Eliza Johnston - wondering if that could be his grandmother aka Andrew's mother. Maybe another child for Andrew could be Eliza.

No problem.

Am not all that familiar with records of people who are not in the E.U.

I have learned that Lennox Johnston, son of Andrew Johnston and Rachel Lennox, was actually baptised as John Lennox Johnston, on June 1, 1876 and he died Mar 22, 1913. Says death was Annaghmore on death record but says Aughrim in newspaper death notice. What is the difference in places?
I still have not found Rachel's death which was after the 1911 census. She was baptised Apr 7, 1844 in Aughrim, and her parents were John Lennox and Margaret Marshall.

.......John Lennox Johnston, on June 1, 1876 and he died Mar 22, 1913. Says death was Annaghmore on death record but says Aughrim in newspaper death notice. What is the difference in places?

They are two adjacent townlands on the outskirts of Castledawson. Annaghmore is in the civil parish of Magherafelt while Aughrim is in the civil parish of Artrea.
