Civil registration of births in Ireland began 1864 so their will be no birth certificate for Joseph. To find information on his family from church records (if they exist) you need to know the family's religion and where they lived (parish if not actual townland). 1901 is the first complete census for Ireland so it will be very difficult to get details of the Prior family.
Since it look's like Joseph's wife Mary Ann was born in England it might be that their marriage took place in England rather than Ireland. The marriage certificate should hopefully list Joseph's father's name (unless he was illegitimate).
