Tracey,
           Welcome to roots chat. Unfortunately the information you are looking for is well before the requirement for Civil registration (1845 for protestant marriages and 1864 for Catholic marriages and births and deaths). You will have to depend on church records, where they exist, and for that you will need to know exactly where the couple lived, parish but preferably townland.

Regards
