Civil registration of Catholic marriages began 1864 and other marriages from 1845. If John was born 1873 did he have any older siblings? (that will give you a better date to work back from. It's possible that the parents' marriage is indexed under another spelling and that's why you couldn't find it.

Bowden could be down as Bowen & McCormack as McCormick, MacCormack, Cormack- possibilites are nearly endless.
