Hi Bill, You have probably thought of the following , but just in case
1. Do you have all the childrens birth certs of Alexander and Mary? Especially the ones after 1861, where it tells where the parents married. (The IGI gives quite a few births after 1861 to this couple.)
The reason I ask, is that sometimes, depending on circumstances , the informant may be more precise on some certs than others. If all childrens birth certs say parents were married Armagh, I'd be inclined to think it was the Parish/City rather than County. However that is only an opinion.
2. Griffiths Valuation. This survey was carried out in Armagh abt 1864, so I think its possible that Joseph, the father of Alexander, may still have been alive. See previous thread.
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,346694.msg2253710.html#msg2253710I can see only one Joseph Tate/Tait in Armagh and he's staying in in Navan, Parish of Eglish. (Next door to Armagh Parish and City.)
Modern map to show proximity of Navan to Armagh.

http://www.sagp.org/church.php?category_id=37Have you also checked PRONI for the Freeholders search, plus proximity of Curry(ie) at any of placenames mentioned?
Added-- I see nothing on Armagh Ancestry (i.e. same year of marriage) for a Joseph Tait/Tate/ -Currie(y) wedding, though I do see a marriage for a Joseph Tate 1810 which would fit re-dates. BUT I don't know who he married
