They left Ireland in 1823(I have the PEI arrival documents)
what I would like is help with
the location/date etc of marriage and details on parnets etc

Elizabeth.
The time frame you are looking at is way before Civil Registration and locating anything relating to the couple and their children would be through Church Records if indeed anything can be found...Do you know what religion they were and what was the name of the Barque they travelled on and from where..?

This is what Ancestry has on their emigration, but of course we have no access to the original or any further details online:

Many of the late 1600s- RC records for Wexford Town are still in existence in NLI so she may be lucky

" The the very oldest Irish Catholic records leap back almost another century; registers survive for Wexford Town since 1671." (Irish Genealogy- Toolkit)

Elizabeth.....You may need to be looking at the ?? Co Carlow ....

MURPHY Mary, Mrs. b. Carlow (unknown) 1823 CEM-65 1770-1866; wife of Matthew MURPHY

Matthews birthplace given as Co Carlow also...
