Hello. You do not indicate whether you are looking for information down towards the present, or for their ancestry.
The latter is really standard stuff; and if you are a beginner try the FAQ icon on the top bar for some guidance.
However, if not already held, you will need their marriage certificate, particularly to obtain or confirm Arthur's father's name and occupation, as there are too many candidates for Arthur, two years either side of 1873, in 1881 Census for Shropshire. The marriage was in Sept (third) quarter 1923 in Atcham District (which then included whole of Shrewsbury and 30 or more other parishes). Go into www.freebmd.org.uk for the full ref and guidance how to obtain.
Martha, however, can be seen in 1881 Census (using Family Search for free) with parents John and Mary at Grinshill (next to Clive), aged 6. You will need her birth certificate (Dec (last) quarter 1874 in Wem District)), particularly for her mother's maiden name. (She was born in Berri(e)w, Monts). You might find father John in 1861 Census at or near Clive, aged about 9. Cannot help on this from home.
