From the Troy Historical Society: Mary Louisa Cassidy married John Francis Lynch on March 10, 1884. Ellen Cassidy is listed as the witness. This differs from the bible entry and the Troy, New York newspaper clipping, both of which have the April 25, 1883 date. However, the newspaper clipping was published on March 23, 1884, making it possible that there was an issue associated with their marriage.
