I am at a loss on any records of these two ancestors of mine. Any one else connected perchance? They ended up in Michigan but were in Bristol, Pontiac, Quebec, Canada for a bit. I don't even know where in Ireland they immigrated from. Help???

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
McKinney is a Northern Ireland surname and Quinlan is a Tipperary/Cork/Limerick/Kerry/Waterford surname. Likely the couple met and married in Canada or the USA.
Just to be sure I checked the subscription site Roots Ireland and there were no Quinlan/McKinney marriage records.
You don't give a timeframe for when these individuals were born approximately. Possibly baptismal records are not available and we would need their parents names to confirm any records.
You may want to add their emigration story to our XO Chronicles site and possibly someone will notice a connection https://www.irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/ancestor-dat…
Have you considered DNA testing?

James was born in approximately 1808 and I don't have parents names - dead end for me there
Margaret Quinlan was born in approximately Nov 1816 and her parents we think were Denis and Ann Quirk Quinlan
I rechedked Roots Ireland and no luck with finding a baptismal record for Margaret Quinlan.

Hi SusRay, I believe you have the wrong spelling, McKinney and it's McKenny. If you follow the link below you will find a marriage record for James and Margarets son Patrick. The priest made note that they immigrated from County Cavan. https://www.ottawavalleyirish.com/2014/06/irish-counties-in-fitzroy-har…
