Thank you everyone. 

I don't have the marriage certificate but it was Rockdale in NSW, Australia.

Marilyn, I'm not sure where you are so I apologise if I'm telling you what you may already know.  Australian certificates usually have very good information on them regarding parents, place of birth etc.  As your family records seem to be in NSW you can order certificates from the NSW BMD site
http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/searchHistoricalRecords.htm

You can also ask a transcription agent for the information which they will email to you - their services are quicker and cheaper than the direct order.  There are 3 approved agents who are on the NSW web-site

Marriage certificates are usually the most reliable for information as the informants are the couple themselves.

Thanks Judb.  Trying to save alittle on the expenses - hoping someone may have more information.  I'll try for the transcription agent.   Thanks again.

  Judith mentioned earlier the transcription of the 1903 mc should have the answers to help you with your Mary’s ancestors.  The pennies spend on it will surely save you pounds and pounds of speculations.   

Cheers,  JM

Thank you Judith.   I'm pretty sure Alfred was a policeman and I know Ernest Arthur was.

I will spend the pennies.
