I visited the town hall in Beverly and looked through their records but could not find an entry for a marriage around that time. I thought they may have got married there as they seemed to be living in that area. In 1920 he was living with his cousin Ernest and family. I did look at some city directorys but could only find 1930 onwards when he was living at 20 Conant st. Could you tell me the address in 1924 if its not to much trouble. Whilst in Boston I also visited the geneology society and I did check through some printed records of marriages but again with no luck. We arranged our holiday to New England from the uk so that we might find out when he married and yes Harriets maiden name. I will try the links you have sent so with a bit of luck I may get to the bottom of it. The interesting thing is Hampden returned to the uk in 1936 to live and died here in 1937 but Harriet didnt appear to come with him, so also trying to find out if she continued to live in the area and what happened to her.
