I can find no reference to there being being a gap in the Parish Register for this period, which in any event is covered by the Bishop's transcript. If there was a gap in the records I would expect there to be a note to this effect in the transcription.
My Cambs FHS transcriptions have compared the PR with the BT and any differences are noted, with any gaps in the PR being made up from the BT, with this being noted
Are you sure it's not simply a case of there being no marriages in this period?
The obvious way of checking is to view both PR and BT at your nearest LDS Family History Centre - both have been filmed by the LDS

Hi,
On my transcription of Westley Waterless marriages, it just says there were no marriages recorded for the dates
mentioned.

When my parents married in Beds theirs was the first marriage for 9 years in their parish!
Westley Waterless extracted marriages on the IGI show
1806 - 1 marriage
1807 - 0
1808 - 0
1809 - 1
1810 - 1
1811 - 2
1812 - 0
1813 - 2
1814 - 1
1815 - 1
So one could say that the only discernible pattern is that with very few marriages in the parish there were bound to be gaps.
Whose marriage are you looking for, which as it presumably didn't take place in Westley Waterless must have taken place elsewhere?

The problem in my research has been the spelling of the surname, and so far it has been spelt in 23 different ways. The correct spelling is Rolison.
My G G Grandfather Joseph Rolison was born in Ramsden Heath, Essex in 1819, as were his three siblings, John 1813, Rebecca 1815 and Sophia born in 1820. I have obtained copies of the fiches for this time from Essex for baptisms -under Ramsden Crays, but no trace of any marriage before the first born in 1813-although I know this is not a foolproof way of looking for it.
So their parents presumably lived in Ramsden Heath between 1813 and 1820. Three of the four were married in Westley Waterless with Joseph marrying nearby in Carlton, and two of them died in WW.
However their parents who I know to be John Rolison and Rebecca ? have been very difficult to find. Although I don't know Rebecca's surname, I believe she died in Westley Waterless as I have what I believe to be her death certificate, with Joseph Rolison present at her death.
On Sophia's marriage certificate in Sept 1840, her father John was alive, but in December 1843 at Joseph's marriage, his father John was shown as deceased although I have not found his death anywhere yet either, probably due to the spelling difficulties with the surname.
I think I have hit a deadend, but any help would be greatfully received!!

Hi paco
I see from the CFFHS web site that Rebecca age 60 is listed on the 1841 census but no sign of a John. Just because Sophias marriage certificate does not state that her father is deceased it does not mean that he is still alive, errors are made on certificates. I presume Rebeccas death certificate did not indicate that her husband was still alive.

On the same Cambs FHS website at http://www.cfhs.org.uk/Search.html on the Burial Index there's a burial of John Rollinson aged c50 at Swaffham Prior in 1836

WHEN did Rebecca die in WW?
The only information other than age in 1841 was that Rebecca wasn't born in Cambs

I think the Swaffham Prior connection is a red herring, as the Cambs FHS baptism index shows children of John and Rebecca Rawlin(g)s being baptised there between 1814-34, and there's a Rebecca Rollins age 45 widow living there in 1841 with some of the children who were baptised.
With the children all having been born in Ramsden, Essex, which is some way from Cambs, I think that's the county I'd be concentrating on, not Cambs, for the marriage.
I don't like coincidences! There's a Henry Rowlesson age 3 buried at Carlton in 1829. Is he connected with your Rolisons, one of whom married in Carlton? There's also a James Rowlerson son of William & Hannah baptised in Carlton in 1813, and a George Rowlinson son of Stephen & Mary in 1825. Might be nothing, but sometimes looking laterally, or even off the wall like these, might provide a clue.
How about John Rawlinson aged 54 buried at WW in 1827? He's the right age to have had a wife who was 71 in 1847.
In 1841 the enumerator has clearly written "No" in the Born in County column. Ignore the x's in the column asking if they were born in Scotland Ireland or Foreign parts, which have been added at a later date, and which seem to be against those people who are not part of a larger family group, as indicated by the brackets in the same column
