Marriages at Bala, Wales, December Qtr, 1910, 11b 622,
William O Ellis,
Robert E Jones,
Mary E Jones,
Jane Morris,
1911 census shows William Owen Ellis and Jane Ellis living as a married couple, married less than 1 year.
Its likely the couple at 91 Silverdale Ave are the couple married at Bala.
Robert Joseph Jones possibly related to one of the Jones on the census.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I'm glad you managed to login as I tried to reply to your email but it was rejected.
The marriage that Bert has found for you may have taken place in an RC or non Conformist church, or in the Register Office so unless you know for sure where it was, the easiest way might be to order the certificate, which you can do online at
www.gro.gov.uk with the following information, it will cost £9.25.
Marriages Sep 1933
Jones Robert J Wilson Florence - W.Derby 8b 1236

A marriage certificate will give you both grooms and brides name, address and occupation (bride doesn't always have one) father's names and occupations and witnesses that you might find are family members.
Unless you knew more it would be impossible to go further back without having the father's details.

Hi Susan
I was also adopted, but in Australia, I had success with the Ancestry DNA test...it linked me to 3rd cousins & I have since discovered my family tree, links to Liverpool & my convict GG Grandfather.
Wishing you all the best in your quest.
Much cheer Lisa
