I am trying to find the marriage of Jeff Wells Born about 1873 In Wickhambrook Suffolk to Augusta May Last, born about 1883 in Bradfield St George Suffolk. In the 1911 census says they have been married 5 years, but I can't find anything.
I hope someone can help me please. Many thanks

Looks like they either married outside England & Wales or they didn't marry at all
