          My take:
          Carl Henke, Tailor, 92 Leman St Whitechapel, son of Heinrich Henke and his wife Anne Henke, born Ruster, from Schanzendorf in Hannover and
          Caroline Wilhelmine Emilie Lunser daughter of Johann Lunser and his wife Wilhelmina Lunser, born Sengpiel, from Neu-Stettin in Prussia
          married on 28th April 1867

            The image you posted was too smalll, but I've looked at it on Ancestry. I'm not very good at this old-fashioned German handwriting, so I hope someone who's more familiar with it can confirm what I think it says.

            1867
            Carl Henke, ?, 92 Leman? St., Whitechapel, son of Heinrich Henke, and his? wife Anne Henke née Rüster? of? Schanzendorf, Hanover
            and
            Caroline Wilhelmine Emilie Lünser?, daughter of Johann Lünser and his? wife Wilhelmine Lünser née Sengpiel?? of? Neu-Stettin, Prussia
            were married? on 28th April 1867.

                Just had a quick look, Neu Stettin is now Szczecinek in Poland.

                  Linda, can you actually read the word we've both translated as "married"? I assume it should be geheiratet, but it doesn't look like it.

                      Hi Mary, not 100% sure, his writing is rather unorthodox, but I think it is derived from "trauung" or wedding - maybe wedded instead of married? I thought it was "getraut" which according to Google translate does mean married.

                            Thinking sideways, I would imagine that getraut shares a language root somewhere with betrothed.
