I'd rather not spoil the satisfaction that you'll get by having a look for Thomas and Sarah's marriage for yourself.

George, As MarieCeleste has already posted some info that you asked for along with a link to freebmd which is a " FREE" site for you to look for yourself then your comment is well out of order

I will certainly not help with your enquiries in the future

What on earth is that supposed to mean - how ignorant.

I've posted the details of the first marriage for you and then explained how you can find the second one. What is useless about being given constructive advice? Surely you want to be able to do your own research rather than have information handed on a plate?

EDIT: Thank you Roy.

For some reason i thought you were being sarcastic i misread the following

Thank you some much for accepting my apology i try to be as honest and forthright as possible.

George, on the left hand side of this page (under Tools) is a link "My Threads". Use that to get back to any previous threads that you've posted on or started.

You already had a thread about these people so it would have been better to have found it and added your latest request to it.

You've obviously now realised that my post about finding the marriage should have been read in conjunction with the post immediately above it. There are some helpers on here who will find all of the information for you and post it on here. Just my personal opinion, but I find it much more satisfying when you find that missing bit of info yourself which is why I'll start people off and then advise them where to go.
Having said that, I'm always happy to post information from records that not everyone has access to (such as parish and overseas).
