no I did just look, best thing is to get the marriage cert and you should be able to tell if it is the right one from the details on it.

There are 3 children from this marriage which you can find on freebmd

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

I will send the births anyway plus at least one of them has a very recent tree on here so it maybe worth contacting just so you can eliminate it if is wrong
