You have indeed posted this query before and very recently and there is a very lengthy thread in response:

Yes I know I have, but have just discovered that Betty was born in Cambridge, so maybe my Nan came from there too, or may have been in service there.  There are loads of villages in Cambridge, so hoping somebody can help.

If you know all betty's siblings you can work out roughly her parents marriage year.

then you can send for the cert you don't need a ref no.
they will do a 3 year search for a marriage at a cost of £11

I have done this on a couple of occasions and on one occassion I only knew the fathers full name and his wifes first name, (like you) and I had no idea which part of the country they married.  (one was from Staffordshire and the other London and they emigrated shortly after marriage to New Zealand.  Their 1st child was born in England 1867 so I guessed they must have married ither 1865, 1866 or 1867 and sent the form off and Bingo got my marriage cert in 2 weeks time. 

Nothing ventured nothing gained. Give it a go.

All the best Anjo
