Sorry - I missed your earlier post.
Yes that is the marriage to Arthur Tomes  - he is on the same page.

You have information now to follow up.

Thanks very much for your help.

Good luck with the surname though!

Thanks.

Back again, if you can get access to those baptisms, you should hopefully get Bridget’s name.
I just can’t see any possibilities with civil records!

Well, this looks like them in 1851 - transcribed here and Ancestry as ‘Newbon’.
I found them by searching with Matthew b 1849 ish and parents James and Brid*

Just to say re the surname variations, the first names look good.
In 1841, the address is Caddicks Gullet. If you look at the enumerator’s page, it follows on from Browns Alley.
In 1851, the address is Spittles Alley and the enumerator’s page shows it following on from Browns Alley.
