So these two John Kinvigs in 1871 are the ones who marry:
a) Eliza Crellin in Arbory in 1877
b) Ann Watterson in Rushen in 1877
(1) John Kinvig b 1844 son of Daniel Kinvig and Jane Clarke
(2) John Kinvig b 1845 son of John Kinvig and Elizabeth Croaghan
But which goes with which ?
John (2) is living in Rushen in 1871, so he's more likely to be the John who marries Ann Watterson.
John (1) is living in Arbory in 1871, so he's more likely to be the one who marries Eliza Crellin.
Perhaps some kind person could look in the marriage registers for these two marriages --- one of them might mention the names of the bride and groom's parents:
