Find Ancestors

There is little known about my paternal ancestry. I am wondering if anyone can help at all.

William Joseph Lawrence is my great-grandfather born 17 June 1919.
He married Margaret Long who was adopted and born 12 Aug 1923.

William Joseph Lawrence parents were named WILLIAM LAWRENCE and KATHLEEN SUMMERS. Little is know about these to, I don't really know there births but I know William Lawrence was born in Wales and Kathleen Summers was born in Dundalk, Ireland.

I wonder if they married late for some reason or whether the names are just coincidental.

Do you know when or where William or Kathleen died, or when they were born?
Thanks

I must need my eyes tested as I can't seem to find a marriage for William and Kathleen.
