Before shelling out for certs you should always try looking for couples on the following census and also cross referencing with the wife's age and place of birth and maiden name on the previous census. Obviously you probably won't be able to eliminate every couple, but should be able to reduce the list a bit. Oh, and check the marriages you are examining are not on the LMA records on ancestry - you might be able to eliminate some from the father's details.

I can't find a definite match for Charles in 1881 nor an obvious death for him at all, with his full name.
