I guess they're probably some flavour of cousins My guess for parents' marrs is:

MACGOWAN Robert 1852 Durham Western
BURKE Catharine 1852 Durham Western
Register No. - Entry No. - District
BCRO2 - 99 - Durham Western (1852)
[BCRO=register office or registrar attended - probably an RC marr]


Marriages Jun 1849 (>99%)
Clarkson John Durham 24 122
Flaherty William Durham 24 122
Herron Mary Durham 24 122
Hull Ann Durham &c 24 122
>>Kelly Mary Durham & 24 122
>>McGowan John Durham 24 122
Mulville Mary Durham &c 24 122
Smith James Durham & 24 122


http://www.northeastbmd.org.uk/
MCGOWAN John 1849 Durham Central
KELLY Mary 1849 Durham Central
Register No. - Entry No. - District
REG 2 - 35 - Durham Central (1849)
[REG=register office or registrar attended - probably an RC marr]

In 1861/71 Ancestry indexes John & Mary as Gowan [rg10/4910/58/? ], [rg9/3698/17/? ]
I can't find them in 1851, but they ought to be in the Stockton area
,
Births Mar 1850 (>99%)
McGowan Bridget Stockton &c 24 245

Births Jun 1852 (>99%)
McGOWAN Robert Stockton 10a 67
