Hi Sian
There are 42 John Doyle baptism records on www.rootsireland.ie/ but none is from Antrim I'm afraid.
The marriage record says he was from Barnish but whether he was born there is of course uncertain.
Antrim isn't included in the Tithe Applotments (1823-37) & there are no Doyles in the early Irish Censuses in Antrim (1821, 31 41). There are 24 in 1851 but there's no mention of Barnish! (Free at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/)
PRONI has an early Doyle record from Antrim:
1740 Protestant Householders
Surname :DoyleForename :Richard
Town :Parish :ManybrooksBarony :ToomeCounty :Antrim
I couldn't find anything you don't already know I'm afraid
