Welcome to Rootschat.

IGI (International Genealogical Index at LDS site www.familsearch.org) lists a possible birth for Eliza Galbraith-
Eliza Jane Galbraith born 17 Oct.1879 Lisnamallard, Tyrone, daughter of Thomas Galbraith and Annie Brown.
Taking the parents' names there's a match in index to civil registrations-
Thomas Galbraith (same details for Anne Brown)
Oct./Dec.1878 Omagh registration district volume 2 page 263
http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=collectionDetails;t=searchable;c=1408347

With those details you can order the marriage certificate which will list their residences at time of marriage, occupations, marital status, whether or not of full age, fathers' names and occupations, names of 2 witnesses, name of officiant and of course date and place of marriage.
See here about ordering certificates-
www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,383526.0.html
To verify this is the correct Thomas and Annie you should first check her maiden name (on your grandmother's birth certificate for example, or is you know Eliza's exact date of birth).

At the top of this board there are resources listed so have a look there. Also, there's a very good site for Donegal research which might be of interest (most of the general information will also apply to Co. Tyrone research)-

By the time you get through all that you'll probably have some questions but thta's what we are here for.
