Her marriage certificate should give her father's name and occupation (if married in Ireland). Unfortunately civil registration of births started 1864 in Ireland. Church records, if they exist, might give names of both parents, birthdate, etc. but to find them you need to know religion and where the family lived, then find where the nearest (probably) church was located.
