Geoffrey (Jeffrey) Simmonds Merrick marriage

Good afternoon
I am looking for the marriage of the above to Rose Moreton Kalthoeber. He was born in 1899 in Eccleshall Bierlow Yorkshire and she in 1905 in Bloemfontein Orange Free State South Africa. I am unsure if they married in Britain or South Africa. She did come back to England when she was about 15 but she may have returned later.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.
Ron

Thanks Andrew and Beverley. This is definitely her, but I obviously got it wrong with her return to England. Just such a shame we can't get access to the later census records.

A tree on Ancestry has the marriage in SA, no date, but with childrens births 1930 to 1936.

His death 1948, hers 1971.

Andy, was it Sarah's family tree that you were referring to? I have been in touch with her before, but it was a long time ago. Shame the marriage is unsourced. I don't have access to South African records. Any clues?

Have to go out now for a couple of hours so will sign back in later. Many thanks for help so far.

Yes, it was Sarahs' tree. She hasn't logged in to Ancestry for over a year.
