The marriage is on Ancestry, but I'm struggling to read the witness names ( signatures ) in the hope that they are related.
They are not the same witnesses as for other marriages on that page.

Even if you found the marriage record, there would be parental info.

Fathers' names were not recorded until the introduction of civil registration in July 1837.

Hi Gins,
I suppose it could be the spelling I know from Thomas and Elizabeths marrriage that they could not write and on the records there is no parents because it was just the recorded Banns.
