Have you tried looking on freebmd for births? The name Stovell isn't exactly common

Have already posted the details from the marriage cert

The names of their fathers were given to you in GB's first response.

Look for them in 1881, which is free

As said above, the 1881 census is free to view on several sites. In it his mother is given as Amelia. If you use freebmd you should be able to find their marriage.
