They (or at least one of them) were Roman Catholics.

I'm assuming you know his wife died age 25 years 1884 Port Glasgow ?

Not seeing anything so far for Hugh McCrory have you checked to see if he went back to Ireland

There is a copy of the death certificate for his first wife Mary Ann on Ancestry and his signature does look like the same on the marriage 1885 in Belfast

I never knew his wife died what happened plus not sure where he ended up after .

If I was a betting person, I'd guess his  wife died in childbirth - you'd have to buy the death certificate to be sure.
