Hi Sam, you will have to slog through the GRO BMD Indices (free access on Ancestry) back from the oldest child's known birth date - looking for a Marriage. If you find it, (and the names arent as rare as I'd hoped) obtain the Marriage Cert to reveal William and Edith's fathers' names and then we may be able to pin them down on the 1901 census - and earlier ...

Search here - you will have to register, but not pay ...

Use the 'full' or 'complete Index option.

Hope you find them !
