Robert McMath married Ellen Lafferty on 23rd September 1926 in Magherafelt R.D.

The marriage record is available via GRONI online at the above link, and choosing the "full" option (5 credits £2.50) lets you see the digitised image of the original. You need to register on GRONI (free), then purchase a few credits to do full searches, view certificates etc.

Edited to add:
When you purchase and receive the marriage record, if you post the names of their fathers, then we can do a bit more digging!  :)

I think that is Robert R McMath. in 1901 census. Can't make out his 2nd name on the birth.

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Londonderry/Kilrea/Coleraine_Street/1521070/

And he is presbyterian

Edited

Yes. I think the 2nd Robert John in 1886 is him.
