Helen, happy to help. However, you need to familiarise yourself with freebmd if you haven't already. Their site is:

Just have a go, it's very satisfying to find stuff. I just put in the names and they just popped up! Wish my lot were so obliging.

Helen, if you want to get this for your records, here is your great-grandparents' marriage:

Marriages Dec 1888

GRIST Edith Westbury W 5a 311
YOUNG William Henry Westbury W. 5a 311

Have you contacted the other 2 people with a Worthy Young in their tree? Not the most common name around! Also loads of people with Edith I think.
