Where did the marriage take place? If it was in a Catholic church then the church record will be the only one (registration of Catholic marriages start 1864). Marriages usually take place in the bride's church so you could see if baptisms for that church show her & her parents, etc.

Here's the marriage:

No parents named, but other Rices being married on the same page.  Also townland seems to be Foughill, not Forkhill.
