And, using today's roads the two places are only 13 miles apart. Not a very great distance even in 1877.

Not unusual for the marriage to take place in the bride's parish, as it appears to be in this case. Isabella is said to be from Waghen, and Thomas from Burton Pidsea.

My own meeting with OH. I was born in Cheshire, OH in Edmonton, London. I went to work in Runcorn and was living in lodgings during the week. OH was a contract draughtsman and he came to Runcorn and was in the same lodgings. I was due to emigrate to New Zealand, but instead moved to London and married there. Timescale was February to August 1964. We're still married

Yes, you can just arrive at the cemetery. I think that many of them have either a cemetery plan, or an office, to make location easier. Good luck Groundsmen are also usually very helpful.

Burntwood Family History Group appear to have an interest in Muckley Corner.
Or try Lichfield Record Office, they have a lot of information, other than parish registers, on the Lichfield area.
