Gayla, I have found their marriage - I confirmed it on CAMDEX and then went into www.findmypast.com and checked for John Edwards and it is there and the volume & page details are correct. So the certificate you need is: 1863 Dec Elizabeth Sarah Charles Cambridge 3b 1142 1863 Dec John Edwards Cambridge 3b 1142 Looking at the page image on findmypast I think it is possible that John Edwards' entry could be/has been transcribed as Cambnridge 3b 1162.
