You didn't give enough information to know whether this is the correct couple.

You need to start with what you know - your parents' details (names and dates) - and using the information from their birth and marriage certs then buy the marriage certs for their parents, and then their parents' birth certs, which takes you back to the previous generation so that you can buy their certs, and so on.
