Ancestry suggests this is the marriage of George (Nocton):

George Robinson
in the England, Select Marriages, 1538-1973
Name George Robinson
Gender Male
Marriage Date 25 Dec 1830
Marriage Place St Peter At Gowts,Lincoln,Lincoln,England
Spouse Elizabeth Smith

I think it's probably correct.
Elizabeth was born in Lincoln, according to censuses.

I agree with ErikaH.

The man in Nocton was NOT the man who married Elizabeth Tooley.

I'm not 100% convinced that George who died in 1890 is the one who married Elizabeth Tooley.....she was several years older than him, and Ancestry links that death to a man with a younger wife. Unless, of course, Elizabeth (Tooley) died and was replaced by another Elizabeth..............

Posting info as I find it, rather than lose it and have to start again
