Have you tried familysearch IGI? Or a Herts Family History Society? Google to check in case there are any transcriptions on line. Before 1837 it is a case of finding the marriage in the Parish Records. |

Have you checked out the town and/or county records for that time. Hawkers had to pay Tax and in some cases apply for a licence to sell |

Have you tried Family History Online? I have found it quite useful for earlier marriage I couldn't find elsewhere. |
