See the topic 2 Minute Introduction to Irish Records for details on searching the BMD index, ordering certs etc.

Note the familysearch index has a fault at the moment which is causing problems with certain searches.

Do you know where in Co. Limerick the family lived ?

the civil certificates give better information than church records but as shanew147 explained the LDS site is malfunctioning at present.
www.irish-roots.ie pay to view site has the church records & the records for the family you mention are available there but at €5 a record.
On the civil index on www.familysearch.org go to the pilot search, then go to the Irish civil registration. Put "Wells" in the search with no other information.
On the results page narrow down by date (1880 - 1910) and by place LUIMNEACH (NOT Limerick) the results will give you the date, volume and page number for the people you are looking for. You can then order the certs, at €4 each from GRO www.groireland.ie

Based on the civil record of Winifred in Qtr 4 1904 the family lived in Limerick city.
 
If you have problems retrieving the info post again.

I presume you found them on the 1911 census?
It shows that they were all born in Limerick city & lived at 3 Bank Place, Limerick.

Also possible record of marriage
Albert A Wells, Jul-Sep 1886, Vol 5 page 199 cert can be ordered from GRO You can also look at the microfilm in the National Library, Dublin or in an LDS centre.
