Desperate for help but maybe it is not possible to establish this information:

Alexander Rowan was born in Hull, Yorkshire in 1797.
He was a master mariner. 1841 census shows Sussana Rowan and son James b. 1833. Does not show Alexander but he may have been at sea then.
1861 census shows Sussana and Alexander as husband and wife. No James but presume he has then moved on.
Can anyone locate marriage of Alexander and Sussana please. Almost certainly if it took place would be Hull possibly Sculcoates
Thank you,
Roger
