Does the marriage certificate of William Thomas Rolston and Henrietta (Pritchard) give any clues?

Henrieeta was born at Stafford hall, (i think in 1853), the illegitamate daughter of a Doctor Dawson and Lady Alice Montague. She left money with the Doctor for the childs upbringing, he worked at the brine baths in Droitwich. He squandered the money and because of the public shame shot himself. Henrieeta married twice with one daughter from one marriage and three daughters and three sons from the other marriage, one of the daughters was Ada Baker who later married William Thomas Rolston. Henrieeta worked as a midwife in Droitwich for a number of years until her death. I am trying to find information on the Doctor Dawson and records of what name Henrieeta was registered as at birth, and also the spouse from the other marriage. Her grandaughter who is 93 would like to have this information.
