I have Francis Miles c1814 who according to census details was married to Frances (Fanny). I am trying to find their marriage. I have one for the April quarter of 1849, Southwell but cannot find who he married. Could anyone help find Frances?

They are on the 1851 census with a son, Francis, a year old. The wife is Frances on this census and Fanny on the 1861 and 1871.
