Samuel Thompson born Dublin c1806

I've been searching for the ancestors of my my 3 x great grandfather Samuel Thompson who was born in Dublin c1806. He and his son John Samuel Thompson born c1831 Dublin travelled to Liverpool UK in the mid 1830s. It's possible that Samuel's wife may have been Bridget ? Samuel & son John can be found on 1841 & subsequent census' in Liverpool the UK, occupation Paper Stainer. He remarried before 1841 in Liverpool.
I'm surprised to find that hd claims to have been born Dublin as I was always given to believe they came from Northefn Ireland. But he states Dublin is where he was born on the census returns.

Were your ancestors Church of Ireland or Roman Catholic?

The free site  www.irishgeneaogy.ie ; has an October 21 1831 baptsmal record for a John Thompson father Samuel Thompson and mother Bridget Thompson. The record was in St. Mary's Pro Cathedral (RC) 

I did not find a marriage record.

I searched for a baptismal record for a Samuel Thompson between 1800-1810 but got no record.

Thank you Roger. I feel sure the 1831 record is the correct one for his son John.  I don't know if he was Catholic or Protestant but I found a baptism record at St Peters in Liverpool August 1836  for their son Thomas. The record says 'Thomas son of Bridget & Samuel Thompson' & correctly identifies Samuel's occupation as Paper Stainer. Would they have been married in Bridget's Parish rather than Dublin? I wonder if she was from County Cork as I appear to have a lot of dna matches from that area of Southern Ireland?

Marriages were ususally held in the bride's parish. However, I did not locate the record on the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie or the subscription site Roots Ireland and I did check Co. Cork.
