Long Shot But No Irish Experience

You might do some research to find out where the Kings Dragoon Guards were posted in 1810-1814.

I take it that you are assuming that just because she was born in Dublin, they must have married there.     That may not be the case at all.     She may have moved to England and met him there.   If you find out that the KDG were nowhere near Dublin during the years in question that would would open up your enquiries to find the marriage, particularly in the area where the guards were at that time.
