Eventually found the 1923 marriage announced, per Mid Ulster Mail newspaper:


Quote
.      ROBERT WILLIAM BIGGAR, second son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Biggar, Maghadone, Moneymore, to ANNIE HELINA WALKER, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Walker, Doneybrerrer, Eglinton, Co. De     

Helina obviously should read Selina, and Donneybrerrer should be Donnybrewer, but is what was printed in the paper.

Even if a red herring for this thread, may help someone else someday, hence posting details and helps rule out either of the Roberts posted earlier (who didn't seem to fit anyway).
"Trees without roots fall over!"
 
""People who never look backward to their ancestors will never look forward to posterity." - Edmund Burke

Don't just wait for the storm to pass, learn to dance in the rain.
