You know from the birth record of Vera Amelia Round that her mother's maiden name is Nix.
The marriage between male Round and Amelia Nix shows her father as John W. Round.
The cert. should give you his father's name and occupation. It will also give you his age so you can work out his date of birth and his address at the time of marriage will help find, or confirm, any census record finding.
There are several possible birth records for him so you would need the marriage cert. to confirm anything and to be sure you have the correct family.

Do you have Archibald and Vera's marriage cert?
If yes, then what was his father's name and occupation, and his address at the time of marriage?

If this is his death, then the birth found by Linda is looking to the correct one:-

Name: Archibald Hubert J Howells
Birth Date: 18 Feb 1903
Death Registration Month/Year: Apr 1984
Age at death (estimated): 81
Registration district: Dudley
Inferred County: Staffordshire, Worcestershire
Volume: 33
Page: 610

Date of birth is therefore 1903!
Birth cert. will give you his parents name!
