If you use FreeBMD you will find a couple of marriages which might be them, one being in the West Derby Registration District:

Wendy, it's free and easy to use which is why I posted the link.
You don't need to register.

I'm sure you'd get a great thrill getting a result yourself. You probably need to block something on your computer.

The West Derby one is on Ancestry's marriage index.

This must be the family on the 1881 census, at Galltraeth, Bryncroes, Caernarvonshire, and Rowland is age 8 on that census so he was born about 1872-3.
1881 census on ancestry
His birthplace is Bryncroes, Caernarvonshire.

This looks like him in 1891, as a farm servant in Bryncroes, still single:
1891 census

Do you have his occupation from his death certificate (or elsewhere), please?

On the 1911 census at 1 Redcar St is a William Henry Williams age 33 but probably just a coincidence as his birthplace is Liverpool.

Did you ever order the 1914 marriage certificate mentioned in this thread (reply #11)?

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=699913.9

Lancashire BMD has it as Rowland Williams / Ellen Jones at West Derby Register Office or Registrar Attended, so it will not be in any parish registers and you would have to order it from the register office. The marriage certificate would give the father's name so you would be able to see whether it was the right Rowland or not.

The 1911 Gore's Directory of Liverpool has a Rowland Williams, barman, living at 179 Gloucester Road, Bootle. There is another entry in the same directory for an R Williams, joiner, 35 Milner Road.
