What was the point of my signposting a duplicate thread, if you ignore the info?

And at least two of those people could still be alive!

Marriages Sep 1913 (>99%)
Anderson Catherine Jones Birkenhead 8a 1264
Jones Richard Anderson Birkenhead 8a 1264

You could start by buying a copy of the marriage certificate. This will give you the couples ages at the time of marriage so you can work out their dates of birth. It will also give you the address they were living at which may help find them in 1911 census.
Their father's names and occupations should also be on the certificate which will confirm any 1911 findings.
From there it will be easy to work backwards.

Without the marriage certificate anything you find will be pure speculation.

You can buy certificates on line at this link:-
