this might be an impossible ask
looking for a marriage [possibly Dublin] of Hannah Tucker born c1824 Ireland,
her husband could be under several variations of his name, MARIANO THEODORE CASTRO DE GISTAU, sometimes its just Castro or De Castro, he was a teacher of languages and a musician , by 1842 they were in London, England then in Scotland, then back to England, I cannot find a marriage in England and Historic papers say he spent time in Ireland.
Thanks Janway

Searched the church records https://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/search.jsp?namefm=&namel=Tucker&location=&yyfrom=1834&yyto=1844&submit=Search .And where it says baptism of Hannah Jane Tucker 1836 is actually a confirmation in st.Pauls Dublin. Not sure what age people were confirmed back then but this could be your girl. No marriages though. Robbie

You may already have much of this information as Mariano Theodore Castro de Gistau was an interesting person and Google is always worth checking out with some academic articles.
Their dau Catalalina Matilda was baptised June 25 1841 at St Marys Church Paddington Green, London. Mother Hannah Matilda, father MTC de G, Teacher.
So assuming they married prior to her birth Hannah would have been 16 ( OK then) about 1840.
An article from Cambridge University talks about his "young wife" but no useful detail.
Her burial record June 1867 at Free Parochial Cemetery, Walton ,Lancs gives her age as 43 and a note "Romanist" which I understand referred to Roman Catholicism.
So I guess she was married in the Catholic church.
More checking out to do.

2 daughters are listed on the 1861 census as Domestic Servants, 1 daughter married. Its a sad story that Hannah was buried by the parish ( many of those deceased listed with her were from the Workhouse.)
I'm sure you are aware of the possibility that they didn't actually marry.. it was more common then than people think.
