There seems to be some confusion in online trees. According to one tree, there is a John Averell born Philadelphia in 1854 (ours was born Ireland) son of Hugh Averell who married Margaret Donnelly in 1874 which is the same year that our John married Maggie. That John died 1882 in Philadelphia. However, if you follow the censuses, Hugh's son John was still single in 1880, and his death certificate also says single.
So  it must be our John who married Margaret Donnelly.
