BIRTHPLACE

'Calyan' as spelt by the registrar in Edward's daughter's 1855 birth certificate may be, especially considering 'Tullyniskan' was the birthplace of Catherine Fanning, 'Killyman'.

Edward married Catherine McCONVILL, daughter of Daniel McCONVIL and Mary VALLELY, on 12 February 1855 in St Margaret's RC Chapel, Airdrie, Lanarkshire, Scotland.¹ (Catherine McCONVILL was born about 1830 in County Tyrone, Ireland ^{3 4}.)

Fr Duncan McNab married this couple. The witnesses were James Vallely and Jane McCartan or Carter. They were married after banns according to the rites and forms of the Roman Catholic Church.
