Roscommon / Grimes married Roscommon c1813

Hello everyone, this is my first post so hope I've done it right, am trying to break thru a very solid brick wall! If anyone can help me with info I would very much appreciate it and my apologies that the 'clues' are rather vague.
Edward & Mary GRIMES (nee McMullen) - believe married c1813 Co Roscommon Ireland; arr. Australia aboard "Hooghley" dep. Ireland 1827; believe he was one member of the 24 Royal Veterans Company aboard ship. A daughter was born en route Charlotte, she later married John Evans; am unable to find parentage of either Edward/Mary; no death record for Edward in Australia & no record of return to UK.

I also think it strange that if they married in 1813 and left Ireland 14yrs later that there has never been mention of any other children born in Ireland between my other contacts researching this couple - no one has been able to go back any further.

TIA for any information
Sharon
