marriage

[digging up bones]

Hello again,
I am back on the trail of dear great great grandfather george smith!
I am trying to locate a marriage certificate for him and his wife sarah (edgeley)the first child born was lilian in 1881, so I am presuming a marriage about 1879/1880.
They lived in aston birmingham and I know sarah remarried after george died
I have his death certificate but that gave me know clues and george remains on the family tree quite sad and lonely without parents !  on his death cert she was named as his wife so I presume they did get married?  regards digging up bones

Did you get her maiden name from one of their childrens birth certs

Were they both born in Birmingham?

When were they both born
