Do you already have info on his and her parents? If not, their marriage record should be fairly easy to get if you use the LDS microfilms. There is an index for each year. Then when you have the volume & page, you can get a copy of the actual register page: gives bride & grooms name, previous marital status, age, townland, father's name and occupation, name of person who performed the ceremony and where. A pretty valuable bunch of info, I think. Sorry I don't know any leads re. the musician.

Married Jane MARKEY at Castleblamey 1855. He apparently was a violinist, oral family history states that he once played for Queen Victoria.
