Thanks to you guys I found out that William Baily married Mary Kent. I found the following

Gender: Female

Marriage Place: Rotherham, York, England
Spouse:
William Bailey

But no matter where I look I cant find a copy of the certificate to find out who William and Mary's parents were.

Hi Steve,
NO certificates prior to when Civil Registration Started in September qtr of 1837.
What you are Looking for is the Register entry for the marriage but as Moira has said it doesn't give you the parents names. You need the brides baptism for that.
We had transcribed Rotherham Parish Church and the results are in our Database.
Over the the left under Parish Records.
I have just looked under "Family Search" they have improved their site and I don't think Mary came from Rotherham as the Marriage might imply.
Have you tried looking under Sheffield Parish Church Baptisms.
Have you worked out her age from one of the census that she is on.

Ah I see the EDIT is back. Holiday weekend over here so maybe not many people keeping an eye on such things.
Also naming pattern of her children might give you a clue to her parents.
Maybe a start.

Steven, you need to access to FMP
The outstanding best match for a birth for William Bailey is an 1810 baptism at Rotherham with parents Thomas and Ann.
Thomas Bailey married Ann Streets, Sheffield 1809.That marriage is on this site in marriages over to the left
Thomas and Ann and a couple of presumably grandchildren are in the 1841 census over to the left.
The Mary Kent found by Elaine had father Titus.

Hello Elaine
I had a look through your database and couldn't find Rotherham parish records
