Family Search seems to be down at the moment.

There is a tree on Ancestry that gives his wife as Sarah Day - married at Stratford St Mary, Suffolk on 14 Feb 1845 and parents as Lucy and James Reason

Hi Susan & Flick the marriage info is correct, just looking for the parents etc for George & hopefully Sarah, I can't find her on any of the Census info

Flick

Can't see him in 1841 or 1851, so the cert is your best bet
