Have you found them on a census as a married couple ? ** Think I have them in 1871 with a first child born 1852/1 which would give you a date to work back from........There are alot of other kids a BC would give you full names of parents. **

Generally you find the first child of the marriage and work backwards from that date, but you would need to have a good idea of where the marriage took place. If you have a baptism for 1st child, the marriage might well have taken place in the same church. You could look on Freebmd and see any likely marriages there. But I would suggest getting a birth cert for one of their children to find out the wife's maiden name to ensure you get the right couple. nell
