Genealogy Chat

Hi everyone,first time on this chat page for me.Wondering if anyone can help with a little mystery?
I have info William Cecil Nichols married Mary Jane Lumsden in 1928 in Lodden area of Norfolk The scribbled notes seem to read Toftmonks House (possibly Topcroft. They had a daughter Joan-who I have found.Mary Jane was always known as Millie.
I can't find a marriage record for them,nor can I find any of them on the 1939 register?
I'd like to order the marriage certificate if I could find a record.
Any info much appreciated.
THANK YOU.

Do you have a date of birth for either of them?
