I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,000,000 surviving rcds for abt 65% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800.
Note 1 - Without a KNOWN parish, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 35%.
Note 2 - Only 1/2 of Co. Cork's rcds are in this database.
Note 3 - The RC church kept control over most parish rcds from Tipperary (north). These are ONLY available thru the Tipperary Family History Research center at a substantial fee (regardless of outcome).
For Rose McGough B 1825 +/- 4 yrs in Co. Louth with the father's forename unknown, I found 2 rcds: 1821 and 1826. Father's forenames were "Tarry" and Patrick respectively. Parishes were Haggardstown and Dundalk.
For Thomas Campbell B ditto, I found 16 rcds with 0 in Haggardstown and 2 in Dundalk, 1823 and 1828. Father's forenames were John and Owen respectively.
For Rose McGough M 1847 +/- 4 yrs in Co. Louth, I found 3 rcds: 2-1846 and 1 1850. For the 1846 rcds, 1 was in Dundalk, the other in Louth.
For Thomas Campbell M ditto, I found 2 rcds: 1846 Louth parish and 1847 Drogheda parish.
A MATCH for Rose and Thomas exists in Louth parish. These are likely (no guarantee) to be for your ancestors. A view of the detailed rcds will show whether the marriage was to each other. If so, they are your ancestors. The view SHOULD also show their parents' names and other info.
Google the Foundation's name to lead you to this database. Register, opt to be notified as rcds are added and browse. Pls post your search results to my genforum msg.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
