Church of Ireland records for Arboe begin in 1773 while records for the corresponding Roman Catholic Parish of  Arboe begin in 1827. Do you know if Samual was Roman Catholic? If he was, there will be no parish records for his baptism. You could search the sites suggested below for records of his marriage:
