I had a look in the Irish civil indexes and I can’t see any James Heron marriage in Co Sligo around 1885. I looked elsewhere in Ireland but cannot see any marriage that fits. There were just 2 James Heron marriages in Ireland in 1885. One was in Belfast the other in Antrim town.

Heron’s not a common name in Co. Sligo. Only 22 in the 1901 census. A mix of RC, Presbyterian and Church of Ireland. What denomination was James?

I looked for Sarah Ken…. But without success.

If the couple had more children born in Scotland, it might be worth checking the other birth certs to see if clearer information is recorded there.
