Purchasing either of the birth certificates will give you Mary's maiden name and then you can look for the marriage.

You have put that Samuel Richard was born in 1847, but Astra has found him as born 1841 - does the 1841 Samuel die, or was this a typing error by you?

Thank-you

His birth date is given as 1847 in both the 1861 and 1881 census.
After 1881 he returns to India where he dies in 1926
