I suspect that this is the marriage
Mar qtr 1872   
Gibbs    Samuel       
Knight    Georgiana       
Chard reg dist    5c   693

If he is 3 weeks on 1851 census (30th March) you should be able to pinpoint birth fairly accurately.

Not registered?

This census leads towards his mother being unmarried Mary Gabe:
