You know how to order the cert? Use the reference for the marriage and buy it for £7 from here: Make sure you tick the box which asks if you have the GRO ref.

Well if you buy the marriage cert you would have both fathers names and occupations. You get the GRO ref from freebmd.org and then buy the cert from GRO online for £7

And This looks like her possible birth ref:

Births Sep 1852
Wright Eleanor Norwich 4b 114

Oh theres one born 1854 too ?

Name: Eleanor Wright
Year of Registration: 1854
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Norwich

sorry in the 1881 census she was 28 yrs old, making her born in 1853 (i think)
she was married to Alfred John Church in 1881
