Think the best thing you could do would be to order a copy of the marriage certificate to see what it says ...I still think there is some connection to the family in the 1841 census  :)

Hi reeves_colin

Re the 1850 marriage - there is no entry for William Durham and his bride in the Highworth Parish register.

Perhaps they were married in the registry office.

Regards
Coco

Highworth, the registration district -  for marriages in Dec qtr 1850 the page numbers in the GRO index run from 629 to 659 (some are indexed as Swindon)

The William Durham marriage was page 637. Seem to be three marriages in all with that reference.
(No marriages indexed pages 636, 638)

Page 639 will be a new parish, according to Family Search the marriages with that reference were at Highworth (the parish church of Highworth, unusually perhaps for 1850 they seem to be sourced from BTs) 

I think that the parish church marriages in a district were indexed in some kind of order, possibly for somewhere like Highworth it would be done alphabetically by name of parish.

So it looks as though the marriage might have been at Hannington.
