If you bought their marriage certificate it should tell you the names of their fathers.

I am trying to trace the parents of my great grandparents - My great g/p are William Collins (b abt 1862-14.07.1931) who was married (1889/1890 in Reduth district) to Ellen Jane Collins (b abt 1863-15.04.1928). They are Stithians connected and have lived in Herniss, Cornwall. They had 9 children (listed below) I have found these in the 1901 & 1911 Census but I just can't seem to go back on the parents of William and Ellen Jane. There is a marrage record for a William and Ellen and it states that she was Ellen Collins when they married so she possibly was born a Collins and married a Collins. Can anyone confirm that this is the case so that I can go further back with their parents details.
WILLIAM J COLLINS - 1890
LIZZIE COLLINS - 1892
JOHN COLLINS - 1893
CHARLES COLLINS - 1896
MARY ELLEN - 1897
ALPHONSO COLLINS - 1898 - 12/04/1971 (My grandfather)
PERCY COLLINS - 1900
THOMAS HAROLD COLLINS - 1902
GEORGE RALPH - 1903
Any help will be greatfully received :-)
