Find Ancestors

I have a marriage certificate of my 3xg grandmother.Middle name Mary .She was born in 1859.She married in Ipswich Suffolk in 1880 age 21.Her fathers name was Henry William Parker.They ended up living in Charlton in Woolwich.My 3xg grandfather was a bricklayer and was a builder on the Blackwall Tunnel.Now William her husband was born in Oxford and some of the family were gypsys and they lived in Ipswich when they were not travelling.Dont think he was a gypsy as he was a brickmaker and bricklayer.What i cant find is my gggx3 grandmothers family and where she came from.I have found one in Greenwich but then i wonder why they got married in Ipswich? Any help i would be grateful for Annie
