Frederick and Zena Simpkin

:(

I'm trying to find a Marriage Certificate for Frederick and Zena Simpkin, who married in 1880. My problem is Frederick was born in Loughborough, Leicestershire although he lived in Birmingham. I don't know when he moved to Birmingham, but searching for him in Loughborough has led me to a brick wall. Just wondered if anyone has come across anything that might help me...?

Also looking for info on Henry (2 of them) and Alfred Burgess, all Metal Spinners in Birmingham dating back to 1828.

Hope someone can help.
