There are two marriage records, one in Burlingham St. Andrew, Norfolk, which I am guessing was the actual wedding place, and because Charles was a Minister of the Church of England, his marriage would have been recorded in the main Parish Church of St. George in Colegate, Norwich, Norfolk, England.
