Do you know which parish Butterknowle would have been in then? familysearch have images of Bishops Transcripts for Co Durham, but Butterknowle is not in the list of parishes. Hamsterley seems to be the nearest but at the moment the images will not load. You should be able to find the marriage there if you have not already seen the image. Do you know who the witnesses were?

Edit: see the witnesses have been posted

Hi,couple of trees on Genes giv Joseph's parents as John Liddle/Little,c.1790 and
Sarah Unknown,c.1792 .Also his siblings as Thomas,c.1815 and Christopher,c.
1816.However I don't know if these are proven records.Found "possible deaths" for Joseph Liddle,1881,75,and Ellen Liddle,1890,75.Don't know parish Butterknowle would have come under,I'm afraid.
Yours,Terry L.

Where did you get the info that Joseph was born in Butterknowle?

It doesn't appear to be substantiated by census returns..........
