Thomas Badger and Martha Wright. Marriage? Records?

[Murfomurf]

This couple reared children in Newcastle upon Tyne during the 1840s and 50s. Thomas is reputed to have been born in Ireland about 1819, making him likely to marry about 1837 to 1842, but I cannot locate a Marriage record. Other tree-builders have suggested the marriage might be in Northumberland, Yorkshire or Norfolk, but I have had no luck in those places.
The children were Edward (1842), Jane (1844), Catherine 1 (Dec 1845), Catherine 2 (1848), William (1851), Thomas (1852), Ellen (1856). I can find Baptism records for all the children except Ellen from All Saints Church, Newcastle, but no GRO Birth records except for both Catherines, showing mother as Wright.
Jane Badger is the individual I am most interested in and records for her Marriage to Thomas Plunket and her children's births are all available in the BMD/GRO.
Can anyone find that Marriage between Badger and Wright? Thanks people.

Well, I have looked through as many likely British records as I can but to no avail.

What's the betting that they wed in Ireland? Without knowing where, though, needles and haystacks spring to mind...

Thanks for trying Batty- Irish records give me nightmares! I'll leave them be and follow Jane's offspring instead.

There's a baptism at St Nicholas, Newcastle on 16 Jul 1860 for Ellen d/o Thomas & Martha Badger.

I can't find the marriage, but he's most likely the son of Edward & Jane Badger, who are in the census at Side, Newcastle in 1851 with various children.

The family was all born Ireland and the men are all shoemakers.

There's no sign of the family in 1841 so I would assume they came over during the period of the famine, which may account for the lack of records.

I tell a lie - this looks like it could be Thomas with another family member perhaps:

1841 at Pudding Chare, Newcastle
Thomas Bager 20 Shoemaker born Ireland
William Bager 20 Tailor born Ireland

The William Badger who married Mary Bryant in 1849 in Newcastle was son of an Edward Badger.

If he is the same William as the William Bager in 1841 perhaps he and Thomas came over from Ireland in advance of the rest of the family.

Wow @Grizel that looks like the family! Its weird that the mis-spelling of Badger didn't come up in search results, but algorithms are set by humans so I guess we'll have to wait for AI to get complete results. I hadn't come back after @Daft Bat mentioned the needles and haystacks!
