On an earlier thread, Bobinsky has already been given clear documentation linking George Garside to his parents Samuel and Maria.
If I could nail down this marriage ... it would make me more confident ... it can be tough and tiring when you hit brick walls
I am at a loss to understand the difficulty here. This is not a brickwall. You simply need to order the marriage certificate from the General Register Office, as has been advised several times above. This is the normal way to proceed to establish the father's name with any confidence.

As I understand it, this is your direct line, not a side-shoot. Civil registration certificates are the backbone of genealogy research in the 19th century - they are not 'optional extras'. Nine times out of ten they will give you the confidence to proceed backwards another generation. Speculation, and reliance on other people's online family trees, will not do that, and such mistakes can be costly in both time and money.
If perhaps you have never ordered a marriage certificate before and need help doing so, please ask on this thread.
In that case, if you have doubts, you need the marriage certificate
Seems to be the only George in the area as you say. In both 1851 and 1861, Samuel and Maria are living in Course Gate, Wike.
In 1861, George is a few census pages away.
Sending for a marr. cert is no guarantee that it will include father's name/occupation. But it is the usual course.
The marriage you are chasing occurred in the 4th Qtr of 1856. The sighting of Hannah Asquith in a grouping that lacked a groom took place in the 4th Qtr of 1856. You could try and find if Michael Connolly married Ellen Mccarthy to eliminate them from the equation before investing in the cert.
There is a spouse missing in these indexes:
Bradford December 1856 vol 9b pg 241
Hannah Asquith
Michael Connolly
Ellen McCarthy
Have you looked at that one?
I did I’m trying to find out the name of George’s parents to confirm a query thank you.
What do you mean by "I did"? Did you send for the cert?
They had a daughter Sarah Ann 1858 who died 1858.
If they followed naming patterns Sarah/Sarah Ann could be Hannah's mothers name
The newspaper article simple states On Christmas Day at Red Chapel, Cleckheaton, by Revd. Robert Cuthbertson. Mr. George Garside to Miss Hannah Asquith of Low Moor.

It is possible that George's name has not been included in the GRO listings. The original documents for March quarter 1857, available to view via FreeBMD, Ancestry and FindMyPast, show that they are hand-written lists, rather than the printed pages. For some reason there are no listings for December quarter 1856 - surname Garside.
