Neither of these registration districts are in Worcestershire. I know of the Newmarket Dorothy Mabel Catchpole. She was my wife's great aunt. The marriage of Francis Thomas Maurice Marks, bachelor, aged 27, farmer, of Billingford with Thorpe Parva, Norfolk, son of Louis Leopold Marks, company promoter, and Dorothy Mabel Catchpole, spinster, aged 32, daughter of Arthur Robert Catchpole, farmer, was solemnised on the 30th of October 1924 by the Revd. E. Awdry Gray, Rector, at St. Mary's Church, Lidgate, Suffolk. Witnesses were Arthur Robert Catchpole, Louis Leopold Marks, and Sidney John Ennion.

The other candidate born at Glastonbury in Wells RD was married some distance away at Kings Norton, assuming she was the same person. There are two other possibles, one married at Croydon in 1921 and the other at Brentford in 1928. I think perhaps the OP needs to do a little more work in order to narrow the field in case the Dorothy M Catchpole who married Arthur V Philpotts isn't the right one. -- Roy Stockdill Professional genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
