You could post the details and I can have a look on another site and see if it comes up with anything?
Depending on when the marriage happened, they might be traced in a census.
Hard to give a definite answer without more details..

There are various strategies you can use, other than sending off for the certificate (for which you only need one party):
1. Try and match the couples in the next census. This is easier if there are some less common names involved.
2. Depending on the registration district, there may be a county-based project to index the local registrar's copy of the marriage. This index may show who married whom. If you let us know where the marriage took place, we can advise further.
3. If the marriage took place in a CofE church, the church copy of the marriage registration will be deposited in the local county archives and MAY be available online. Again, let us know more details so we can give you better advice.
Hope this helps

You are in luck. Wiltshire BMD (

) has indexed the relevant local copy of the registration. Joseph HENDON married Hannah BUTLER at St Swithin, Compton Bassett.
