  Marriage Notes:

Roman Catholic Records
St Andrew's Parish Glasgow
Baptisms

"Hugh McGonnigle native of Londonderry & Sarah Coyle born in Parish of Lifford County Derry, after their proclamation were married by me on this 21 January 1837 in presence of Samuel McColgan & Ann McCoul
Peter Forbes"

Note: Lifford is a parish in County Donegal which is part of the Romn Catholic Diocese of Derry, and it is possibly this that Father Peter Forbes, a Roman Catholic priest from the north east of Scotland, was alluding to.

Also Ann McCoul may be Ann McCall. ¹
