I have updated the Davidson/Liscombe family tree and I have added an image to the Historical Documents page.
Denis Reardon and Mary Cook (Kate Reardon’s parents) were married on January 4th, 1862 at the Chapel of Our Lady of Dolours church, in the District of Camberwell in the County of Surrey, England. Both were of "Full age". Denis was a milk carrier. They both lived at 4 Victoria Place, High Street in Peckham. I was able to get more needed information from this which will be helpful. The names of their fathers are John Reardon and John Cook. John Reardon was a General Labourer. John Cook was a "Fruit Hawker" which means he sold fruit on the street. Their witnesses were John Dinahan & Alice Ginan. I will look into these names more to see if the witnesses were relatives. This might get me a bit farther back now that I know the father's names. They left Ireland for England, and then from England travelled to Canada in 1867 - 5 years after they were married.
I used the FreeBMD site to obtain the registration information needed to request the document from the General Register Office of England (GRO). This site has been helpful for many of our ancestors.
