I would imagine there are ages for them both on the cert which will give you an indication of when they may have been born. Do you know when they died?? The people who registered their deaths will have been asked the dec'd date of birth and place of birth, if they died after 1969. It's possible this info may not be correct (it is not checked), but depending on who gave the info, it may well be correct!!! Merry

Well, how old were the grandparents when they married? Their parents would surely have been old enough to be on 1901 census. You can look for grandparents' birth certs. You can also check the addresses they gave on wedding cert in the electoral rolls, although often addresses on marriage certs were convenience addresses.
