It may be the marriage at this link.  Will cost £4 to view the entry.

You can purchase a transcript of the certificate for £4 at the link on my earlier post (or purchase certificate from GRONI at higher cost). The transcript or certificate should give the names of the respective fathers' and the townlands that the bride and groom resided in at time of marriage. From experience, if you don't need the actual document, the transcript should serve your purpose well as it will include the same information.
