yes I know all that
but your method is not working very well :-(
do reply to list in future and maintain a thread

girls often get married by their place of birth

but you do not give me cohenerent census data to work with

sometimes you will trace a sibling more easily and then move sideways

this is called "cluster genealogy" and you make progress by looking at
the family or street or village as a whole

did they meet at church or at a market place or were they introduced?

or they may never have marreid
