Hi, I am trying to find info on my fathers line Prest.

My Grandmother Elizabeth Parvin b. 1900 married my Grandfather Thomas or Tom Prest b.1902 on 15/7/1922 in Stillington Co. Durham.

His parents Thomas or Tom Prest b. c1876 and Elizabeth Thompson b. c1878 married 24/2/1900 in St Pauls Middlesbrough, on this Tom's marriage cert it says his father is William, as far as I know the family always lived in the North East, I would like to find them on the census, can anyone help me with the info I have given ??.
