I see John Joseph was born August 1864 so unless Mary was pregnant before the couple married the chances are they married 1863, if they were RC than they won't have a marriage cert as RC marriages were only registered from 1864.
Are you sure John Joseph was their first child?

Hello,

Civil registration did not begin until 1864 so it looks highly unlikely that there would be a civil marriage certificate as the first child was born in 1864. If, however, the marriage was not a Catholic one, registration started in 1845.

I see there is another child which you have not mentioned - Richard b 1873

Regards
Heywood

I left my post here even though it duplicates Sinann's because of the additional child.
