For images of m.certs, go to:
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1®ion=UNITED_KINGDOM_IRELAND
and browse down the following paths
England, Norfolk, Lowesto...rish Registers, 1538-1900 > Hockwold > Marriages > 1837-1902 > Image 5 of 102
England, Norfolk, Lowesto...rish Registers, 1538-1900 > Hockwold > Marriages > 1813-1837 > Image 4 of 14
England, Norfolk, Lowesto...rish Registers, 1538-1900 > Feltwell > Marriages > 1837-1887 > Image 171 of 254

Post-1837, an official marr register has 500 entries, so if there are 254 images, there must be 2 m.certs per image, with a few intro pages or duplicated pages. Note Alviegal's post says:
RegisterNumber 336
so we should expect to find it on image 169-172, noting image 1 is the cover, and 336/2=168.

There are trees on Ancestry for this family which include a copy parish marriage entry for John Hicks and Mary Rudderham and the 2 copy marriages certs for Joseph
According to one of the trees Joseph had 11 siblings
You should be able to view the trees on this free link:

https://www.mundia.com/gb

I presume the last entry Theresa should read Joseph HICKS
