On checking the census records for Mary’s place of birth 1851, Hapton, Hampshire. 1861 Upton, Hampshire. Did the marriage record mention Mary’s abode at the time of marriage?

Just in case the abode on the census records is incorrect there is this baptism below.

Mary Sloman

Christening  25 December 1793 
Exeter St Stephen, Exeter, Devon.
Parents John Sloman, Mary

Upton Pyne, Devon is 3 miles N of Exeter: St Stephen, Devon.

I note the census returns you mention in Limehouse, registration district Stepney, death records below.
Unfortunately no birth/baptism record that I can see anywhere near to Hampshire.

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: James Steele (b. 1827) in Berwick-on-Tweed

This from your original post.

Monday, April 19, 1897
STEELE - On April 19th, at his late residence, 160 Strachan Street East, James Steele, aged 70 years. Funeral private.
James Steele, 160 Strachan Street East, died this morning of inflammation of the lungs. Mr.. Steele was one of the oldest residents of the city having settled here in 1854, coming from Berwickon- Tweed. He was employed in the Grand Trunk shops for many years. He leaves a widow and a family of seven married children, as follows; Mrs. James Main, Mrs. B. Chrysler, Mrs. J.D.Mills, and Mrs. W. Jackson, of this city; Mrs. F. McDonald, Detroit; Mrs. J. Terryberry, Niagara Falls, N.Y., and James Steele, Woodstock. The funeral will take place on Tuesday afternoon, and will be private.

Berwick-upon-Tweed as a departure point:
While not a major emigration hub, Berwick-upon-Tweed did see some ships departing for Canada in the early 19th century.

The surname Henthorn is of English (Lancashire) origin and is a habitational name derived from Henthorn in Whalley, Lancashire. It's believed to originate from the Old English words "henn" (hen) and "Thyrne" (thorn bush).

No BMDs in Scotland pre registration which began in 1855 but a few births after the first being 1878.

Is this Pamela’s marriage?

William Osgood Spouse Pamela Huckson
Marriage  23 June 1907 
Barking, Essex, England 
Parents Alfred Osgood

I do not see a birth registration for Pamela but on the 1891 census below she is with the family, her father is a Boat Builder.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:W43M-ZT2?lang=en

The surname Corless primarily originates from England and is considered a variant of the surname Corliss, which itself is thought to be a nickname derived from the Old English word "careless". This nickname would have been given to someone who was carefree, cheerful, or benevolent. 

Worcester all Q3 marriages: None to Osgood

1843 Helena Margaret CORLES – 3 possible options for spouse.
1844 Henrietta  CORLES - 4 possible options for spouse.
1845 Emma  CORLES - 4 possible options for spouse.

There is also this marriage record on FS, which is rather strange.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPCL-D29K?lang=en

Death registrations: CORLES, WILLIAM    66  
GRO Reference: 1848  D Quarter in WORCESTER UNION  Volume 18  Page 377

CORLES, ANN    57  (wife maybe but no marriage record)
GRO Reference: 1846  D Quarter in WORCESTER UNION

CORLES, EDWARD    54  
GRO Reference: 1866  J Quarter in WORCESTER 

CORLES, FANNY    39  (Wife of William)?
GRO Reference: 1866  J Quarter in WORCESTER 

No registered marriage Corles to Osgood in England or Wales as far as I can see but there are Osgood BMDs in Worcestershire.

No clear connection between the two but above may help others. The Worcestershire records on Ancestry might help?
