Probably the best place to start would be their marriage certificate as it will list residences of bride and groom at time of marriage as well as fathers' names and occupations.

William,
           I cannot find a marriage but I assume that you have seen the family on the 1911 census in Parker Street, Pottinger DED.

Regards
