Hi Victor,
Thank you very much for your message.
As John was married in 1868 there will be a civil record of his marriage as civil registration began in 1864. It may be an idea to see if you can get a copy of this record as they also give the couple?s fathers? names. Civil records are available from the General Register?s Office in Dublin. Here is their website:

Alos, have you tried looking for the family in the 1901/1911 census records? These can offer lots of useful information. Here is the link:
