Foreign names are quite likely to have been mistranscribed in censuses, so you could try, if you know the approximate birth years of the sisters, searching by first name/year/birthplace alone.

Who are the witnesses on the marriage certificate?

If you're using FindMyPast try dad without a surname incase he's anglicised it,or wasn't too good at spelling
.
Now you know his job ,try al Robert's who are glass blowers or just glass*.
You may have to try different counties,Surrey,London,Middlesex,incase it's too time consuming and they time you out if you do the whole country at once!.

Hi folks
The marriage was witnessed by Joseph Cecil Bless brother to thr groom and Joseph H Bliss --father of the Groom. They were married in Wandsworth Registry Office .He was 20 and Ida Wenzel 17 both of 94 Plough Rd Battersea. So possible no Wenzels at the marriage.

Thanks for the  suggestions
