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.
