Where in Co. Clare? Where they Catholic?

Civil registration of Catholic marriages began in 1864- before that date you need to see if you can locate church records.

If it was a non-Catholic (including Registry Office) marriage then you can check under each name in the online civil registration index and then cross-reference results for a match.

There might also be details of their marriage and parents in Australian records.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Yes they were Catholic.  I have new information........   They arrived on the ship "Henry Moore" in 1857,with son John D born 28 May 1856 Glenvane Ballyvaughan, who was baptised in St John the Baptist Glenaragh 2 Jun 1856.    After arriving here they had 13 more children only 2 didn't survive infancy.  So think marriage was in perhaps St John the Baptist Gelenaragh, County Clare. Where do I look this up please.

Glenaragh appears on an 1836 list of Catholic parishes-

An 1890s description of Burrin (the post town)-

From what I can find, Glenvane seems to also be known as Ballyvaughan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballyvaughan

See here for Co. Clare parishes-

If you click on Ballyvaughan parish you'll see what church records are available- baptisms seem to start 1854.

Since you  are probably not able to easily view the records in Ireland this project due to be released soon might help-
