You can see the church record of the marriage in FindMyPast and maybe in Ancestry if you use the latinised version of their names.
Mariam Annam TOOMEY married Jeremiam SULLIVAN on 18 Apr 1858 at St George’s Cathedral.
The father’s names are given. No occupations or abodes which you might get from the marriage certificate.
PS - search for the bride rather than the groom as Sullivans are common as muck.

Hi Spelk! Thanks for checking. So you can see the record on findmypast? And it contains the Fathers names? I've tried your suggestion to Latinise the name on Ancestry but couldn't locate it

ok, I signed up to findmypast and this is the record I've been looking for! Thanks again for suggesting Latinising the name, that would never have occurred to me. Is that mostly a Catholic record thing or should I always be checking that?

Some Anglican vicars carried on using Latin for a century or two after the Reformation but most did not. FindMyPast and Ancestry will both tend to recognise that the given name Guillielmus is the same as William so not usually an issue.
The Catholics I think do still carry on the practice of using Latin to show that they are educated above us hoy poloy.
If I remember right I actually located the marriage using the name Maria Tooly with variation of both given and surname.
