Could there be more?

Thinking outside the box other avenues worth pursuing are baptisms if you know who the children are. Occasionally, especially with non-conformist baptisms, they can divulge more information than a marriage. A lot of the Methodist baptisms from the late 1700's onwards (when they were fist allowed to perform baptisms) include such detail as how many previous children were born and not only the wife's maiden name but often the name of her father and his residence.

I have found a couple of the childrens baptisms, at the Colligate Church (Manchester Cathedral)
child:James Hanvey
name:James Hanvey
baptism date:22 Oct 1837
baptism place:Collegiate, Manchester, Lancashire, England
father:James Hanvey
mother:Phebe

might there be more to the record than whats listed there?

I beg to differ. It's always worth getting the allegation & bond in the case of marriage by licence. Presumably this marriage wasn't by licence as the questioner hasn't mentioned it.

Could you explain to this novice - what is the allegation & bond, and where would one likely find them ??

The only additional information for James' baptism is abode, occupation (of father), and the vicar's name.
