If a marriage licence was granted, it cannot have been a register office marriage. A licence would be needed only for an Anglican church marriage.

According to the Guild of One Name Studies Marriage Locator, the marriage was at St Peter, Saffron Hill.

I believe the parish marriage register isn't online for 1841, so the GRO certificate will be needed -- or perhaps a visit to The London Archives, which holds the parish register.

ADDED
Actually the register is online for the first half of 1841, but Ancestry have omitted to digitise 6 pages between June 1841 and January 1842, which presumably will include the required marriage.

It could be that the person baptising the children was aware of the nature of the marriage so that he recorded the baptisms with no mention of father. The curate appears to be a William Turner from 1823 to 1849 so could have known both sisters.

William Turner would definitely have known the sisters as he did live in the village for a while. In 1841 there were only 74 residents in 14 households, so everyone would have known what was going on.

Thank you Bookbox for locating the church and finding Ancestry’s omission.
