According to the 1881 census the above was born in Southport, Lancashire in 1878-9. Father was James and mother Elizabeth (nee Howarth).
I know that he died on 17th March 1933 and is buried in Southport, but I cannot find any trace of his birth. I have also checked Ormskirk records as that could have been the place of registration at that time.
I really would appreciate any help that anyone more experienced than I could offer.

Mike, I believe that you have the correct marriage, but I don't think that 8b 791 is him, altho can't be sure. I've had 2 certs from Ormskirk records, 8a 238 / 8b 857 but both prove to be incorrect.
safc, I believe these marriage details to be correct.
