Hi elaine,

I'm not sure if you have these details or not, but their marriage was by Licence;
Licence date;
15-2-1776 James Blake, Yeo, Stratford-sub-Castle to Alice Brunsdon, 18, Stratford-sub-Castle.    d/o Joseph.
Bondsman; Thomas Saunders, Yeo, Stratford-sub-Castle

You could also try the Wilts on-line parish clerk at this address they may be able to help further ;

They also have a 1821 censu which reveals there is a James Blake with 3 males & 1 female. nothing more.
