Elsie & Herbert Brown. (General)

I’ve just discovered that my wife’s Aunt & Uncle, Bessie (Betty) Jones(1909-1996) & Stanley Jones (1905-1992) were married to brother & sister. Bessie(Betty) was married to Herbert C Brown (1906 – 1982?) & Stanley was married to Elsie Murial Brown (1908-1992). They were all married at The Parish Church Viney Hill, Stanley in 1936 & Bessie (Betty) 1932.
Elsie & Herbert’s father was down as William Brown deceased. I got the brother & sister info from Herbert’s funeral report in the paper, which I will scan.
My problem is I’m not certain of their birth place, also I can’t find them in the 1911 census so I could identify their parents & siblings.
According to the news clipping a Mr & Mrs F Dovey was the brother in law & sister of Herbert, also a Mr B Dovey was the nephew. I can’t find a marriage between Dovey & Brown that might fit or the birth of B Dovey with a mother maiden name of Brown.
If anyone could shed some light on this for me I would be grateful.

One piece of luck I have had from a previous posting. I found the death of my wife’s uncle Ewart Frank Jones he died Chesterfield in 1979, same year as her mother.
