In that case your next step would be to get a copy of the marriage certificate. It should list their residences at the time of the marriage (townlands) as well as names and occupations of both fathers and names of 2 witnesses. For anything earlier you'll need to search for church records, of they exist but bear in mind that weddings usually took place in bride's church.

Is the information I gave not enough to try and make a connection to Ireland?

Civil registration of births (and deaths and Catholic marriges) began in 1864 so there will be no birth certificates for William and Matilda.
1901 is the first complete census for Ireland.
Therefore, you do need to get the marriage certificate. It should list the fathers' names but not the mothers.
Before searching in Irish records you need to check all Canadian sources (death certificates, birth certificates of children, gravestones, etc.) for clue.

Are there no clues as to Irish connection in Canadian sources? Like any research you have to go through all available sources step by step and Irish research pre civil registration is not easy even with an exact place (townland) to start with.
