There are two possibilities Mark.

1. The marriage was never registered in the civil books - common enough
occurrence

or, hopefully for you - 2 . they were married somewhere that you didn't
think of checking.

First of all, did you check all the records for all the Patricks married in
Ireland - or at least the 12 districts that take in all or part of Galway
for the years you looked at?

If he was born in 1904, and you have an address for that year, then you
could check the 1911 census - on that, the number of years that the couple
have been married is listed - and as with ages, you can take a year or two
eitehr side of the year that you think the marriage occurred and check those
years for a marriage reference for both Patrick and Mary. If you don't find
two matching refs - then the marriage was not registered
