GRONI online has a civil birth registered at Lisburn for an Alexander Jameson on 5 June 1864, the mother's maiden name is given as Gibson, but that clearly predates the marriage posted above. 

Here is what FamilySearch has:

No, I'm afraid they don't.

You're into the territory of looking for civil births post 1864 or baptismal records before that.  In this case, since the marriage took place in 1892, there's a possibility of civil birth registration. The marriage record should include the fathers' occupations, which sometimes helps.

Edited to add:  Post any other information you have about them, eg. 1901 / 1911 census records (post the link to save us the bother)

Thank you for this info Gaffy  :) I'm so used primarily to Scottish records, this is very helpful.

Just noticed your edit: they were both living in Scotland by 1901/1911 (my great-great grandmother Ellen Jamieson was born in Glasgow in 1896).

The census search forms which were used to attempt to confirm old age pension entitlement, show a family of Spratts/Sprotts in the 1851 census in the townland of Kilkinamurry which I believe is close to Magherally.  The family includes a 10-year old Mary - so probably not the one who married in 1891 - but could be a connection:
