Religion?

Registration of births, deaths & Catholic marriages started 1864 (from 1845 for non-Catholic marriages) so for earlier dates you need church records and there are LOTS of churches in Belfast.

When & where did he marry?

Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Apparently those years are correct,Mary being quite young about 16 when she married.

Where?

Quote
He is of the Protestant Faith.
Which leaves a lots of choices for church where he might have been baptised.

What record(s) show Belfast as birthplace? "Belfast" could easily mean the city itself or a large area surrounding it. (my Grandfather's uncle was born 1819 fifty miles west of Belfast but his 1890 obituary say h was born near Belfast).

Birth registration of son Gordon (1865) gives family at Tulnacross-
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1865/03589/2323089.pdf

If the parents were married in 1838 then I would expect to find that they had quite a few children between those dates.
