Based on this marriage index record, Bridget and Edward were married in 1864 in the Carlow registration district which includes Leighlinbridge. You can get a copy of this record (which will show the names of the fathers of the bride and groom and where they lived) by writing to the GRO. Go to this link http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx Hit the link for Marriage Certificates in English. You will likely get a screen asking for a User Name and Password. Hit cancel and the form should appear. Fill out the form and provide the year of marriage, registration district and the volume and page number ( 18 and 409). You will have to mail the request for a copy but you can ask the GRO to e-mail the copy back to you. A copy costs around 4 euros.
