No connection as yet but they are a huge family and im sure we will find one. Mine are in Northampton, London and Olney. I felt sure i would get a link in Olney, but couldn't find it.
Looks like we shall have to think "outside the box".
Going back to the marriage certificate, who were the witnesses? Maybe you can find a sibling? Also did it state that he was "of this parish" or "outside of the parish"?
Have a look in the Parish records for other Wilmers' BMDs. You should be able to link the family that way.
Try baptism records, they would give you the mother's forename, then you can look for a marriage for the parents.
I have some parish records which i can look at later. Were they based in Rushden all of the time?
