Looking at the transcript, they were married by Licence.  So I checked on the Forest of Dean Family History Trust* which has Gloucestershire Marriage Allegations 1637-1837 and Marriage Bonds 1730-1823

Free: Just have to register to have access to the records.

Not sure how to add an old thread, (3 pages) on the same subject,  but there is a previous thread from goatfish77 dated 16 October 2018 - which, at the time, I among others contributed.

My paternal side were from Down Ampney/local area  17/18/19 century and their surname was also had an Alias.

I only have access to Family Search now, but see the Gillam's did live in Northbrook Street 1841 (as mentioned in the article).

Not sure if this article helps

Newbury Weekly News and General Advertiser - Thursday 20 February 1890

WHISPERS FROM SPEEN

At the same time a baker's and confectioner's business was carried on by Mr Benjamin Curry in the house now know as "Alma Cottage" and a baker's and grocer's by Mr James White in the know known as "Bath Cottage".

After a few years Mr Freebody (having previously had the two private houses turned into one, and had suitable shop windows put in) removed to where Mr Lewendon now carries on the grocery business, continuing there till his removal from the village.

'Succeeding tenants probably did not understand the business, for none seemed to make it answer (although in the meantime the other two shops had been given up) until the late Miss Gillam came, whose father had formerly kept a grocer's shop in Northbrook-street Newbury, where Mr Long's china and glass warehouse now is.  After her decease as it well known, the premises were again made into two houses, being some four years later made into one, when Mr Lewendon became the purchase.

NEWBURY

FIFTH OF NOVEMBER

This being the anniversary of the gunpowder plot, was as usual a busy evening at Newbury, where a great number of fireworks were according to custom let off in Northbrook Street.

We have not heard of any very serious accident, although a son of Mr Gillam's had a narrow escape, a large quantity of combustibles in his pocket having taken fire, and before he could get his coat off it was torn to pieces by the explosion of the contents.
