Interesting that you mention that he may have lied about his age on census.
Why would he want to do that?
I can see that he might if there was anything to gain from it , but what?

Assume you meant 1874


Marriages Mar 1874

************Duff Benjamin Bristol 6a 122
************Groves Clara Harriett Bristol 6a 122
Hucker Ellen Bristol 6a 122
Irwin George Bristol 6a 122


The certificate would give you the father's names and occupations.

I have a Benjamin Duff b1851 in Dudley who married a Clara H or W (original picture is not clear) in 1974. (I think) Anyway, they lived in Bristol and thier children are the same.
I would love to find her parents to complete a whole generation in my tree.
I'm hoping someone out there might know some loophole, or another list which might divulge this information.
The only marraige I can find for Benjamin does not list his wifes name.
Thank you
Steve
