The accepted way to do this is to first examine the parish records of the church where they married, to see if there are any clues given at their marriage AND to see if there are baptisms for either of them at that church.

If not, you then work outwards in a five mile radius of that church and see if you can find anything and carry on till you run out of patience!

A very rough rule of thumb says that one or either of the couple was born within a five mile radius of the marriage place.

Good luck!

IGI just has a submitted entry. Without an exact date or a parish this is probably just guesswork.
