Trying to find marriage

I'm trying to find the marriage of John Williams to Priscilla Williams in Llanfyllin. Their daughter Sussanah was born in 1845 in Llanfyllin but on the 1851 census John is a widower living with Sussanah and his sister Susan Foulkes in Llanfyllin.
John was born in 1818 and died in 1900 and I 've found him on the censuses with his second wife Mary.
Any help would be appreciated as I don't want to order certificates and not get the right one. They're getting a bit expensive now from G.R.O.
Thanks

Hi Shirley,

I can't find them on Free BMD although there are a lot of Williams. On Sussanah's birth certificate her mother's maiden name is given as Williams, whether that's right or not I don't know.
I've tried looking on the 1841 census but I don't think they were married then.
Llanfyllin is in Montgomeryshire, Wales.
