I am trying to find the marriage of my wifes' maternal grandparents.
They are in the 1911 census
PEARCE GEORGE (RG14PN7787 RG78PN387 RD143 SD1 ED4 SN22)
Address SWAN BOTTOM County Buckinghamshire
District Amersham Subdistrict Missenden
Enumeration District 4
It says they had been married for 13 years.
George Pearce was born c1876 Chartridge, Bucks and Gertrude c1878 Wendover, Bucks. (Birth years based on ages given in the census.)
The only other info I have is George's mother's name was Jane as she is also shown in the census aged 77 and a widow, also born Wendover, Bucks.
I haven't been able to find any earlier record.
Help please.

Thanks gedcom

The marriage looks to be right but I'm not sure about the birth (shown Wendover on 1911 census) as Aylesbury district did not include Wendover until 1924.
