If you are local you could try the actual parish register, but as GlitterBaby said, it is highly unlikely there will be more details. You could also try searching the records office for a marriage bond - they sometimes have the guarantor in the hope it could be his father.

All you can do is hope they survive to the 1851 census - but it doesn't look like it - there's this James, but no Theodosia, and he is not born in county:

James Lockhart
Age: 60
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1781
Gender: Male
Civil parish: Tutbury

You will be lucky to find any of those details. Might say of this parish. Will not name parents. Most witnesses were probably not related and were usually some kind of church officials that attended most of the weddings.
