Civil registration of births started in 1864, so you would need to check for parish records for possible baptisms of Mary and Patrick. You usually need to know a more detailed location to do this - ideally the names of the towns, townlands or at least the parishes they lived in. You also need to know what denomination these families were.

  Introduction to Irish Records
  My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start?

Where did Patrick and Mary marry, do you have a marriage cert ?

Marriage Certs in most counties will show at least father's names, and some location mother's names will also be included...

looks like that marriage took place in Ireland, as there's a child named Richard born in Nov. 1873 in Co. Longford to Patrick and Mary in the extracted births on FamilySearch.

see : https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F5JQ-VNP

A research cert would give a more details, such as place of birth (probably the name of the townland they lived), father's occupation etc

This would appear to be the correct marriage - in Longford registration district.

  Name: Mary Stritch
  Event type: Marriage
  Year: 1873
  Registration district : Longford
  Volume : 3 / Page: 268

A matching entry appears for a Patrick Farrell..

A research cert would give additional details, including names of fathers, current residences for the bride and groom etc

see : Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon
         Details included on a Birth Cert
        Details included on a Marriage Cert
