In the period 1800 – 1810, Methodists in Ireland were still part of the mainstream church. So they didn’t carry out their own marriages. So if you can locate it, Alexander & Nancy’s marriage is more likely to be in the Church of Ireland registers.

1816 was the earliest that Methodists in Ireland could theoretically marry in a Methodist meeting house, though I have never seen one earlier than 1835.
