When you say 'cant find marriage' - where have you looked?

Have you been through Tillingham Parish records, either at the Essex Record Office or online via SEAX Essex Ancestors site?

Where were the children born? If that is Tillingham too, then it seems likely marriage would be tere, or i a neighbouring parish if bride had moved during her childhood and then held marriage in her home parish
