Wasn't William LYONS a widower when he married Susan COLEMAN? So although he could have been very young when he lost his first wife, it is perhaps more likely that the declared age of 22 is inaccurate.

There are surprisingly few deaths in Dungannon registration district for William & Susan:

1896 William LYONS, age 40
1899 William LYONS, age 86
1910 Susan LYONS, age 0
1916 Susan LYONS, age 74

In many ways the older of these deaths would match your couple - but they would have to have been older when they married than was declared. The age gap would be consistent with William having been married before.

Finally I notice that Coal Island and Corr are only a mile or so apart.
