Looks like a difficult one! I don't know about English records, do they have the same information as Scottish ones. If so you could find the details of one of the children's (Clara, Charles, Alexander or Lena) births. In Scotland this gives the place and date of the marriage but I have no idea about English records, moira margaret murdoch wrote: >I am still searching for clues to the marriage of Alexander Murdoch and >Charlotte Branette in the 1850s ( their eldest living child was born in >London in 1858) Alexander was born in Scotland and Charlotte in Edinburgh >about 1835, though I am unable to identify either of their births, until I >find details of their marriage.
