Do you already have details of Bridget & Michael's marriage ?
I see a possible match on the BMD Index on the FamilySearch website, but it's in 1890, not '91...
Name: Bridget Brick
Registration district: Tulla
Event type: Marriage
Quarter and year: Jul - Sep 1890
Volume : 4 / Page: 201
Name: Michael Burke
[same references as Bridget]
A marriage cert would give more details, such as father's names etc - see :
Details included on a Marriage Cert (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,433042.0.html)

It's unusual for a marriage cert not to have any details about the fathers...
Is it a civil or church record you have ?

Civil records usually show more details. See the notes in reply #1 for the details a civil marriage cert should show.
You can order a marriage cert from the GRO with the references I mentioned above.
