It is very unlikely that a marriage would appear in PRs if there is no marriage certificate found in Civil Registration. In theory at least, it is simply not possible. Of course, there is always human error! 3. The surname WAUGH is also likely to be mistranscribed/misheard in lots of ways, as you can imagine. Have you tried all the possible different spellings? E.g. Wough, Warr, Worr, War etc... Yes, and remember also that the local (and I would say correct) pronunciation is "Woff", so perhaps you should be looking at that and at possible variants of it, not forgetting the local surname of Woof!
