We have all the info on the grove family. Can we look in to the Smart family?

Marriage looked up by Rocky Fowler - Thank you!
14th March 1880. St Thomas, Dudley
Samuel Grove, 24, B, labourer, Dudley, Charles Grove, Labourer
Caroline Smart, 23, S, Dudley, John Smart, Horse Nail Maker
Banns
X of both
Witnesses:- X of Charles Grove. X of Annie Smart


On two census Samuels wife is down as Catherine, 1851 as Caroline.

I cant see a marriage to a Catherine. There is this one though for Caroline?

West Midlands Marriage indexes for the years: 1880
GROVE Samuel SMART Caroline Dudley, St Thomas Dudley Register Office 204/035/418

But I cant find a Caroline Smart!

There is a Catherine Smart and that family are on BCC here
