Thomas Watkinson, 23 Aug 1907, Newcastle Durham County
Alice Watkinson, 1 Jan 1909, Toronto York
Birth site only goes to 1909.
Their marriage or death registrations should have their parents names on it.
I cannot find them on 1911 census.
1901 and 1911 census on www.automatedgenealogy.com
They should be on 1911 census as he enlisted in 1915 and they were living in Toronto.
This may be him on 1901 census Birkenhead Cheshire England. He gives Birkenhead as his birthplace on enlistment papers.
