Just had a look at the LDS site and there are these so if you have his dob (age) when he married it would help to narrow it down:
DoB below with Mothers maiden name:
30 Oct 1859 mmn Janet Bigger
08 Apr 1843 mmn Janet Peebles
16 May 1852 mmn Janet Peebles (again ?)
Collison & Watts in Headcorn & Hollingborne (Kent UK) & Michigan (USA)
Kavanagh in Wexford (Eire) Michigan & California (USA)
Salisbury, Burls & Vanstone (UK & Gibraltar)
