This problem has been annoying me for a few months.  As he is not part of my direct line, I have not investigated Robert until now. In the 1881 census, he is in Barrow in Furness working as a joiner, with a wife, Elizabeth.  I would expect his marriage to be in a C of E church and the Freebmd website shows a Robert Harrison and an Elizabeth Kneale on the index for Ulverston,  June Qtr 1874, Vol 8e Page 1110. Ulverston seems not be be covered on the Lancs OPC site, I cannot find the marriage on Familysearch and I am between subscriptions for Ancestry/FindMyPast. There also seems to be a problem with the page no shown on Freebmd.

Does anyone know where Ulverston marriages have been transcribed, please ? Elizabeth and Robert are both from Andreas, but I have failed to find the marriage there and Ulverston is close enough to Barrow to make this one plausible.  Was Ulverston in Lancashire in the 1870s and 1880s ?

It may well have been a civil marriage rather than a church.
Therefore it will not be in any parish records.

Whooo ! Wonderful, jonw65. I didn't know of the Cumbriabmd website. The whole family are determinedly C of E, so I didn't think a Register Office was likely.  Brilliant, thank you so much.
Edited to add:
I am just picking up this branch properly, so I'm grateful to Dundee for the birth info as well. My tablet was down to 2% earlier, so I wanted to get some thanks in first before it decided to shut down. Help much appreciated.
