      I carefully examined Armagh marriage records (from the NLI) between 1857 and 1858 with no results for John McKenny & Sophia Woods. There were other McKenny's and Woods people, but names not matching with those I know of.

    Alt. Marriage:
    • Passenger list manifest for the ship S. S. Elizabeth (Philadelphia, May 31, 1858) shows John McCany (27), Sophia McCany (20), Cath. McCany (19), and Owen Woods (27).
