Looks like there may be others, but family search keeps saying that it can't show results!!

I suppose the question at the moment is are the John and Sarah from the census (I'm happy it's the same family on all the census's) the same John and Sarah from the marriage record??

Can someone have a look at this for snoops pls
I don't have time at the moment
