Can't find the marriage record for Oliver Quigley to Lucy (Colbert?)

I have been going through my tree, trying to tidy everything up. I have one lady that leaves me with more questions than answers. My paternal grandfather's mother, Lucy Quigley. (born Colbert?)

I can't find a marriage record or any proof that her maiden name is Colbert. I guess the only evidence that I have for her name is the Quigley family genealogy site.

I think a marriage record, if I could find one, would be the best piece of evidence for her surname.

I don't know if this helps or not but I went thru the Census on Family search and could only find a Ollie Quigley Born about 1885 but he was not married to a Lucy, But I also found this:

Charles Carr - marriage  25 Aug, 1920 Woodbury, Iowa.  Male 46 b, about 1874  - Father's name is Charles Carr & mother's name is Ellen Hynes,   SPOUSE - Lucy A. Colbert Farrell - Female, age 35 Birth year 1885 -Parents - William Colbert & Mary Wallace.    I tried different spellings such as Calbert, Kolby, Colby, Calbert, Kolbert, but Family search kept telling me no records and the same for Oliver Quigley,did not marry Lucy Colbert.  He might have married a Lucy but the last name I don't know. I am going to try one more time and see if it goes thru and then I will let you know,  Thanks, Nancy

Thanks, Nancy. I guess that means that my

Lucy is not the daughter of the people I thought were her parents.

I never could find a marriage record between Oliver Quigley and Lucy but I know the couple existed because of oral family history.
