I am researching my 2nd great grandparents.
I don't really have that much information on them.
Their names are:
David Alfred Jones - BIRTH 26 JAN 1879
Gertrude Morris - BIRTH 1 MAY 1891
Their children -
Edna Gertrude Jones - BIRTH 12 FEB 1920 • Wem, Shropshire
DEATH 22 OCT 1987 • Wrekin, Shropshire (my ggrandmother)
Eric Jones - BIRTH 2 JULY 1922 • Ellesmere, Shropshire, England
DEATH MAR 2000 • North Shropshire, Shropshire
Violet M Jones - BIRTH 1928 • Oswestry, Shropshire, England, United Kingdom
Leslie Jones & Percy Jones
I have seen the 1939 census, which says the birthdates and info above. Gertrude is occupations - charing. And David Alfred is a Farm Labourer.
I think they were both born in Montgomeryshire, as I can only find a marriage that matches information in 1911.

From freebmd
Marriages December qtr 1911
David A Jones/Gertrude Morris Llanfyllin 11b 363
Births March qtr 1879
David Alfred Jones West Derby 8b 454 (this is Liverpool)
Too many Gertrude Morris births to determine the right entry but given the marriage location - this could be her
Births June qtr 1891
Gertrude Morris Llanfyllin 11b 213
Have you checked the 1901 and 1911 censuses for her?
You should be able to find David on the 1881 census

I can't find a baptism for him and there is no obvious 1881 entry (ie) one which shows his full middle name
There is an 1881 entry for a David A Jones aged 2 - parents Evan & Margaret - living in Kirkdale so you can use the link above to trace the entry
Evan Jones b 1844 Aberanon, Glamorgan, Wales
Margaret b 1845 Carmarthenshire, Wales

I agree with the marriage and birth record for Gertrude. David birth reg is one of two in the first q of 1879 Llanfyllin reg district
Parents marriage on familysearch, also bapt for Morris, Findmypast

David birth reg is one of two in the first q of 1879 Llanfyllin reg district
I agree that the 1881 entry for Montgomery makes more sense than the Liverpool one but neither of those birth registrations have a middle name or initial
