I have the Devon FHS CD of volume 1 of the "Plymouth Marriage Index"

The following marriages may be of interest.

26 December 1924

Groom BURKE Anthomy
Bride BURLEY Violet Agnes
Church St Jude

Will see if I can find her parents marriage

11 September 1895
Groom BURLEY Thomas Henry
Bride PERRY Harriet
Church St Jude

So it should be possible to find them on the 1901 census and find out their ages and place of birth
