Hi Neville. I have found two possibilities for the marriage of Elizabeth Jones to Henry King.

1884. April/June Qtr. reg in Kensington.London. vol 1a 358

or
1891 April/June Qtr. reg in Stockton. vol 10a 123.
If you can get the right one it will give ages, their Father's names and occupations and witnesses who may be siblings.

Worth applying for copy of marriage certificate but with a proviso. Henry is shown as 38/39 on the 1891 census and a Waterman. Born Peldon.Colchester. Elizabeth is shown as 27 in 1891, so these ages will give you a lead.
The marriage certificate should show his occupation
The first child I have found shown as Harry aged 6 in 1891 and he was born London, and the others down to Arthur.11 months in Leytonstone are all in different parts of London.

I would suggest the Kensington one first. If you stress the details that you have, then they should not charge you if it is the wrong one.
Happy New Year. Ethel.
