Ballynagg is in the parish of Ballyrashane. Most of the parish is in Co Antrim but a small part is in Co Londonderry/Derry and that includes Ballynagg. You haven’t specifically said what denomination the family was but the mention of Rev Dutton being a Rector indicates Church of Ireland. Unfortunately Ballyrashane’s early records were all lost in the 1922 fire in Dublin and no baptism records for the 1840s survive today.
The year of the Scottish marriage was 1872 by the way, not 1874. Robert McConnell was deceased by then. He had been a farmer. Margaret Nicholl was still alive (according to the Scottish marriage certificate).
