Ancestry don't have the early Buckland marriages on their database. It would be worth checking with Woking whether they have the 1754 - 1812 registers. I know a launch of records which had to be refilmed is planned for later this year.

Thanks for that, Phoenix. Surrey History Centre's parish register PDF says they have the original registers with marriages going up to 1836, and microform with marriages up to 1877, plus transcripts, all at Woking, so hopefully they will be included in the stuff to be added. But FamilySearch has indexed those marriages already and there is no Robert Bristow marriage in there.
