The basic information is in the records held on Ancestry. I was hoping some of the early parish records might be online, and might give a little more information. You only get the abstract on Ancestry. I tried looking at some family trees but they all seem to have copied each other and the information really isn't correct. They all have a marriage between an eight year old and Lady Mary Brabazon who was in her forties.

Are you looking at the marriage licence bond records?
What is listed in them is usually all that exists now.

You can cross-reference the Dublin parishes on the RCB master list

I have two sources. One is the Ireland, Abstracts of Wills and Marriages, 1620-1923, and the other is Ireland, Select Marriages, 1619-1898.
I had a look at the RCB list but I don't think the registers for the parish church of St Catherine's have been extracted anywhere.
The only other route is to try the newspapers, but I haven't found anything on Ancestry.

Hi

irishgenealogy.ie shows 3 listings of Burial of Hannah Knox, all age 55, all on same 1833 date in St Catherine’s, Dublin South. Her age might be consistent with a lady who married 32 years earlier. See:

The Revd Arthur Knox and Hannah Wilson had a daughter called Hannah Wilson Knox. She was born in 1804. I will have a look at the death notice. Thank you.

The first of those collections includes the second, so they are the same source.

Land records can sometimes be worth a look, although difficult to read at times.
Family Search now have a handy search tool although it won't always pick up every instance due to the writing.

This one (if I'm reading it correctly) says Hannah inherited prior to her marriage to Rev Knox in 1801 from James Wilson a share of land in Co Meath. Perhaps he's her father.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-DC3?view=fullText&keywords=Arthur%20Knox%2CWilson&lang=en

Ah the second page clearly states she is James Wilson's daughter

This one concerns her eldest son Arthur

There maybe more
