MILLS and LAY of Bristol (General)

My great-grandfather Joseph WATKINS married Elizabeth Frances MILLS (b.1866 Clifton) at Clifton Bristol. I've always wondered how a coal miner from Ruardean met and married a girl from Bristol. According to censuses Joseph was born and always lived in the Ruardean area.
I know the parents of Elizabeth MILLS were William MILLS (b. Cifton 1823) and Catherine LAY (b.1847 Clifton). I know there is a 24 years difference in the age of the parents. Not been able to get any further information on them and unable to confirm if they were actually born in Clifton or maybe somewhere in the forest. Also maybe William had a previous marriage.
If anybody has access to information that may help it would be appreciated.
