Marriage record

[Nessie56]

Hi
I have been trying to find the marriage record of John Hensby born 1831. Parents Thomas Hensby and Ann Payne. John was born in Lakenheath, Suffolk. according to census records his wife was called Emma/Emily 1883, she was born in Downham, Norfolk
 Their first child Fredrick was born 1857 in Upwell Norfolk.

I am on Ancestry but have had no hits for their marriage.

Should I post this on the Norfolk forum as well?
Thanks

No need to post it elsewhere 

Where do you have the family in 1871/1881

Maybe there wasn't one. 

Can you find her maiden name from the birth registrations of their children? **
That should give a surname to look for her.

** possibly Richer or Riches

HENSBY, WALTER  HAMMOND     mmn HAMMOND 
GRO Reference: 1859  S Quarter in MILDENHALL  Volume 04A  Page 453

That matches the marriage for Philip and Susan

1871 has Emma aged 5 - GRO online shows mmn Hammond

1861 indexed as Hensley
