No.

Widworthy is covered rather well on IGI, going back to the early 1600s which makes me think they weren't married there and you'll need to look further afield.

This may be where you need to look at other parish records. The minute books for example will often be a fund of info. They should be at Devon Record Office.

Sorry I can't be more help.
