This is an error - John Quin is on the left-hand page under 'Dispensations' which is permission to marry a relative. The mistake has occurred because the facing page is funerals.The Dispensation is to Maghera, just a few miles away. This can be confirmed by looking at the Marriage Register for Maghera
So this is not a death for this John Quin
