You really need to buy the birth cert for one of their children. This will give you Ann's maiden name so that you can find their marriage.

Then buy the marriage cert and that should give you both of their fathers names and occupations, enabling you to go further back.

Llewellyn is aged 10 months on the 1881, so this is the most likely birth reg for him.........
