Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Could only find one record, the 1864 church marriage record. Trancription below. No civil marriage record even though civil registration started in 1864. Also could not find the baptismal records for Hugh and Rose. Did they remain in Ireland and have children?

Hi Roger, thank you for responding!
I am pretty sure I have the right line, from marriage records I got the names, etc.
Hugh and Rosa moved to Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, Scotland before 1866. Their (only) child Thomas was born there in 1866. I was questioning as they both had the same last name but I guess it doesn't necessarily mean they were related. I was hoping to get one more generation back to see if that is the case, as Hugh's grandfather John Flemming (abt. 1775 but I don't know where/married Elizabeth Byrne b. abt. 1775), and Rose's grandfather William Flemming (abt. 1771 but I don't know where/married Elinor O'Kelly b. abt. 1770) may have been brothers? It's hard not knowing exactly where to look. I will keep digging!
Thank you very much for your help, I appreciate it!
Cheers,
Maeve
