Civil Marriages

[Kit]

Between OH snoring and me being quite ill I could not lie down without coughing last night and so decided to put my time to good use.

About 2am I had a look at an ancestry hint and found a likely marriage for my 4greats uncle in 1855. He, however, seems to share my painful 3g grandmothers annoyingness and he had a civil marriage according to Staffordshire BMD.

Correct me if I am wrong, this means there was no church wedding and therefore no parish register entry doesn't it? Is there any other way of finding out any details without ordering the certificate? He's not that important to me at this time that I want to spend the money.
