Christopher, have you any idea when the children were born? If you have, you need to check the complete BMD index, at that time the mothers maiden name will be on the birth index.
This will help find the marriage.

Christopher

start with what you know and work back

when were you born?
your birth cert will have both your parents names on,
then trace their marriage cert - that will tell how old they are and their fathers names, the find their births,

their birth cert will have both parents names on, then find the parents marraige

and so on, ad infinitum
