The St Helena parish registers have been digitised by Witwatersrand University (Historical Papers Research Archive) – free access.

There’s a Garrison Church, as well as several parishes (St James, St John, St Paul etc.). The registers aren’t searchable by name. You have to browse the images for each parish and look for the marriage date.

Thanks for this, the writing is hard to read sometimes but it's fascinating.
