    You can get marriage certs from www.birthsdeathsmarriages.ie for a fee, but doesn't look like the records would go far enough back for you (from 1864)

    Marriage certs only started with civil registration , so the earliest available are from 1845 for non-Catholic marriages. Full registration started in 1864.

    For earlier marriages you need to check for church records. These will generally be in the form of transcripts for the relevant records.

    Details included in early records are often less detailed.. so there's no guarantee that father's names are included.

    If you know which parish is involved then you could check to see if records are included on one of the pay-websites. There may be some records held locally in a library, or you could visit the Records Office (PRONI) in Belfast. They have records for many parishes. They are currently in the process of moving to new premises in the Titanic Quarter - I think they reopen sometime in the spring of 2011.
