With the info you have, you can order the marriage cert from the GRO (£7) which will give you her maiden name, her father's name and occupation and John's father's name and occupation.

If you have the birth registration for any of her children this cert would also give you her maiden name.

On FreeBMD, if you click on the page number for the entry, you will see two possible spouses for John:

Marriages Jun 1900 (>99%)
>>>>>Cook Alice Mary Pocklington 9d 149
Holman William Pocklington 9d 149
Kirby John Henry Pocklington 9d 149
>>>>>Lee Harriet Pocklington 9d 149
