There's not a limit on the number of posts you can make but it is best not to have multiple posts looking for the same family as duplication only causes confusion and more work for those trying to help you.

Do you know that they were living in County Londonderry at the time of the 1911 census? if so, any idea where? what ages would they have been? names of any children that might be in the household?
You can search 1911 census with wildcards, just 1st name place, etc.

Have you found them in 1911 census? if so, where? ages?
First complete census for Ireland is 1901 and it is going to be added to the National Archives, Dublin site (late 2009/early 2010 according to their website). Until then, 1901 census for County Londonderry available at PRONI, Ballymena Library and possibly Londonderry Library, as well as to order from your local LDS library (but you have to know where they were living to get the correct microfilm).

Whose daughter? and where did she live? if you want help to find these families you'll need to be very clear about the information you already have, where you've already searched, etc.

Index to civil registrations is online (free) and it shows the following marriage:
William SHANNON Jan/Mar.1879 Magherafelt registration district volume 1 page 869 with same details for Charlotte LENNOX.
http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=collectionDetails;t=searchable;c=1408347
Their marriage certificate will list their residences at time of marriage as well as fathers' names and occupations, date and place of marriage, names of 2 witnesses.
See here for ordering N.I. certificates-

Also you'll find in the same townland:
