I have found a John Henry Owen marriage in 1890:-
Surname First name(s) District Vol Page

Marriages Mar 1890

OWEN John Henry Stourbridge 6c 2_1
Could he be yours? Please note that the transcriber could not read the page number so it has been typed as 2_1 -
"The reason the facility is not available is that either or both of the Volume and Page were not readable when the index was transcribed. This is indicated by the presence of special characters in these fields as explained here. However, you may still be able to find out information about possible spouses by following the instructions below. The following characters are used where the index is difficult to read:
_ (Underscore) A single uncertain character. It could be anything but is definitely one character. It can be repeated for each uncertain character." Quoted from the FreeBMD website.
So, these are all the Mary Ann's that were married in Stourbridge in Mar 1890:-

Fox Mary Ann Stourbridge 6c 231
Foxhall Mary Ann Stourbridge 6c 230
PEARSHOUSE Mary Ann Stourbridge 6c 215
