info on Islington Marriage certificates

Hi,
I’ve just obtained the marriage certificates for 2 of my relatives. Julia Wakefield married Charles Davis at the parish church Islington on the 10th June 1849 and her sister married a William Lambley at the same church on the same date.

My question is about the address they were living at when they got married. Julia and Charles were both living at Palmer Street Islington and Elizabeth and William were living at Georges Street Islington.

Were these girls actually living with the husbands before marriage, both husbands were labourers so its unlikely they were in service at a house together. The girls family were in Finchley at this time so would 2 girls in there 20’s move away from home to live in digs etc.

I’ve looked on the 1851 census but can’t find the girls.

Thanks for any help.
