Order the cert. here;

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

You can order any cert. from more than 50 years ago.

For births, marriages and deaths registered in England and Wales, you may apply online for any certificate if you have the full GRO index reference. In the case of events in the last 50 years you will be prompted to supply further details as you complete the online application form.

Do you know the name of the first child and when it was born? This would give you a starting date fo look for the marriage.
If you have the GRO reference you can order birth certs.

Do you have any of the birth certificates for her children? They should have the fathers name on unless they were illegitimate.
