Persecution of Catholics for purely religious reasons were rare; and although for a period all citizens were officially required to regularly attend Church of England church services the enforcement of this law was a local matter and Catholics were usually left pretty much alone.

Call your local parish and talk to the marriage coordinator or a priest.
