THORNBER. THOMBER, STARKIE, STARKEY

I am trying to find a marriage for Martha Thornber/Thomber, b. 1759 Gisburn and Edmund Starkie/Starkey.

Martha is believed to be the daughter of John Thornber who lived at Hill Top, Barnoldswick when he died 1782 (b. 1711 Gisburn).  Martha had an illegitimate son, Joseph Bracewell, at Hill Top in 1781.  I believe that this son is the same as:

Burial – Gisburn
Jos Thornber of Watters, Nr Austwick – 27 Jul 1792

Between 1791 and 1793 Edmund and Martha Starkie/Starkey are living at Waters Farm, Austwick, but I have never been able to find a marriage or if this was     the first marriage for either of them. 

I am also trying to find the deaths of Martha and Edmund, last heard of living at Nether Gale Farm in Tunstall in 1807 and in 1814 Edmund gave consent to his daughter's marriage at Warton (Carnforth) in 1814.  I haven't been able to find any sign of them after that, or where they were living in 1814.  There is no record of them dying at Tunstall or around.

I have listed this on the West Rising list as well as I am not sure where the event might have taken place:
