TLDR : Answer Summary
To transfer a Non O (marriage) Thai visa from an old UK passport to a new one, your husband typically does not need to take any action. He will receive the old passport back with a corner cut off and should keep both passports together. If he has a yearly extension of stay, he can take both passports to the immigration office to have the existing stamps transferred. If he holds a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa, he should carry both passports when entering or exiting Thailand until the visa in the old passport expires.

Dont need to do anything. You will get old passport back with corner cut of. Just keep them both. Use as required.

IF he got a yearly extension of stay at the immigration office he takes BOTH passports there and they'll transfer the existing stamps.

IF he has year-long, multi-entry Non-O VISA <- that he got from a thai consulate in another country (where he exits/re-enters thailand every 90 days) he carries BOTH passports when he enters/exits the country until the visa in the old one is expired.
