Hi

Can you clarify exactly what info you already have and what you still need so we don't end up duplicating

Have you viewed the 1866 marriage cert to fnd their respective parents names and mothers maiden names?

What census info do you already have?

The births of 5 of their children are on the IGI - have you looked at the entries
