Thanks Sue

Best thing to do would be to order the marriage certificate for the two of them. That will give you the fathers name for Minnie and also her age at the time of marriage.

How about this one:

Births Sep 1867
Gardner Minnie Ellen Islington 1b 202

Here is a better one with a different spelling of surname:
