The ones we have for various ancestor's sacramental marriage with dates from the 1840s onward, do not have father's name or address. However, the CIVIL marriage records, post 1864 for the Catholic and post 1845 for the Protestant, do have the father's names for both bride and groom, the occupations for the bride, groom and the fathers, and the addresses at the time of the marriage and the bride & grooms parish church. Therefore, if your ancestor was married post 1864 you could get the information you seek from the General Records Office in Rosscommon.
