This is the marriage record with the details you need to order the certificate:

Name: Ada Cook Drinkwater
Year of Registration: 1879
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Fulham
County: Greater London, London, Middlesex
Volume: 1a
Page: 421 (click to see others on page)

My only concern about this one is that at the 1911 census they stated they had been married 30 full years. If this one is their marriage they should have stated 31 years (as the census was taken in April 1911 they hadn't reached their 32nd anniversary). But maybe they'd had such fun they'd just lost track of the years ...

1871 is more difficult - there is an Emma Drinkwater of the right age, born Hayes, staying with an aunt (also named Emma) and I can't help wondering if this is a mistake on the part of the enumerator - maybe it should have been Ada.

I think i will bookmark this Beverly,
i am helping my friend with her tree and her Mother's maiden name was Drinkwater, although we hardly have any info and she's not able to buy cert's at the moment , but i will keep this info in case we come across any of these names and then i will be able to contact you.

Ok people seem to think That Drinkwater is the path I should be following so I am going to try that while I order the birth cert of May harding ..
What if anything can be found on Ada Drinkwater from before her marriage ... please

There are banns of marriage of William Harding to Ada Cook Drinkwater in May 1879 in Hayes (LMA again) and the marriage was in West Kensington in August 1879.

Perhaps the Ada you need is Ada Drinkwater from Hayes in Middlesex, see this 1881 entry:

The best way to check you are following the right family is to buy the birth certificates (£7 from General Register Office)

Umm, the Ada Sarah Nash who married William Harding in 1881 states that her father was Amos Nash (London Metropolitan Archives digital image), and looking at the 1861 census suggests that Ada daughter of Amos came from Hughenden in Berkshire - so she might well be this Ada Harding in 1891 (note different children to the ones you are looking for):
