If you go to the details page for Alice Duffield and then click on the FamilySearch link in the Search Records portion of the page on the right side a search will be made with some of the known details for Alice.
��
The search results will not include her marriage information. Add her husband's first name but not the last name. Also add the year of marriage. Scroll down and click the update button. This should produce a search results list with the marriage of Alice and Jacob near the top of the list.
��
Review the details to be sure you select the correct marriage by comparing details you already have with what is on the marriage document. If there are any inconsistencies they should be investigated. If you determine that you have located their marriage record be sure to attach it to them in FamilyTree.

In situations where a marriage after 1837 is not found in a parish register as in the case with Alice Duffield and Jacob Bradnum search the indexes at:

When I was looking through parish records for a marriage record of an ancestor, I didn't find it in familySearch, but did find it in Findmypast.

As @Lorene Walker����� was able to find it there, you may be able to download it and at least save it to your offline tree or as a photo on your profile labeled with as evidence cited for all to find.
Also not all records on family search are indexed, I have found records that "were not available" in Family Search by looking through the rolls of digitized yet not indexed materials on my family...you can then save that bit to your family member.

You look up the civil registration of the children in the index at www.gro.gov.uk and verify the mother's maiden name.
