As the children were baptised Catholic then the parents were married in the Catholic Church.

You have a marriage record- the marriage has to have taken place somewhere- so where on earth did you get the record  ???

As the children were baptised Catholic then the parents were married in the Catholic Church.
Does the record give the name of the Catholic church and the priest who performed the ceremony then?

 My grandfather was baptised in Buncrana and the priest was Fr. J Kearney.

This was in 1880 and I assume his siblings were also baptised there and his parents were married there too. Would be St Mary parish I would think.

I think you might be missing the point here. You have a marriage record (from the details you have managed to post already I suspect it is a civil record rather than a church record) and the marriage either took place in a Registry Office or a church- it will say on the certificate where it took place as well as the name of the person who performed the ceremony (either Registrar or clergyman). Where the children were baptised does not have to be at the same place- but if the marriage took place at St. Mary's then it will say so. Was Father Kearney the person who signed the marriage certificate?
Mixed marriages often took place in a Registry Office but again it will indicate this on the marriage certificate.

I believe Wee Mamie only has the details that I gave her from a civil marriage record from Rootsireland. On those records it just gives very basic info and there is no indication if the marriage was in a registry but presumably so....nor does it tell who officiates.

If it is a Church Marriage the record does indicate this. It gives you the denomination but not the church. Occasionally it will have a note about who performed the marriage.

 Does that mean mab that the marriage may have been held in a registers office and was not in the church ?  For the children to be baptised Catholic then the parents had to be married later in the church so..where would one get the church record after all this time ?
