This is the Stewart/Kelley marriage
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1877/11134/8076990.pdf

It shows that William was a Shoemaker; that it was not a Catholic marriage and the witnesses were Robert Kelley and Mary Anne Kelley so quite a bit of information there.

The marriage took place at Ballyarnett in Co Londonderry so perhaps it is more likely that "Muff" is the one in Co Londonderry (Eglinton)  not the one in Donegal.
