"Missing" marriage in Lincolnshire

[scatchardfamily]

I have recently established a link to the Margraves of Crowle – I have up to the marriages of Jonathan Margrave and Catherine Van Valkenburgh on 29 Jul 1680.

Via Ancestry the Margrave line appears to go back via Stephen (father of Jonathan), then Thomas (father of Stephen) to John Margrave who married Dorothy Bosville "bef 1598". This last marriage is exciting as I believe Dorothy Bosville to be my "gateway ancestor" linking me to several established mediaeval pedigrees.

The issue is that I cannot really verify these Ancestry trees. For instance, I cannot yet find the baptisms of Thomas and John ("ancestors" of Jonathan), and crucially I cannot find any marriage of a John Margrave to a Dorothy Bosville.

Perhaps I am looking in the wrong places or searching under the wrong names. Can some kind soul assist?

That seems a massively spread out lot of baptisms for John's children. Multiple marriages?

Still no luck finding this Margrave-Bosville marriage...

Is it me or is the window around the PRs on the Lincs Archive website extremely annoying? How on earth are you supposed to browse the documents with such a limited view? I can't even see which year I'm on, which page I'm on. Terrible.
