Harry Reed Marriage

[heathera1940]

Hello everyone.
My ancestor Henry  Reed born 1872 Stockland Devon. He is referred to as Harry on census records. I have traced him on the 1911 Cenus as being in Hong Kong serving as a Gunner in the Royal Garrison Artillery status married. In the 1901 census he is in Stockland listed as Gunner, single. Trying to find a marriage. Any help appreciated
Thanks Heather
