Here is the marriage you refer to, I think. Both names are on the same page.

1873 Waterford vol 19 pg 461

You can send for a photocopy of the entry - 4 euros here

There are three births in Waterford - John, Margaret and Patrick. Is that your family?

John's birthplace is shown as Killea/Killen; Waterford and Rose Lane. That may help you trace his parentage perhaps.

Griffiths Valuation shows Diggins in Dunmore, Killea.

It was a survey of property ownership around 1850s. It is limited but can give an idea re places. http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/

Civil registration of births in Ireland started in 1864 so there will be no birth certificate for anyone born before that date. For earlier dates you need to search for church records.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
