Would this be the couple that you have on your tree as being born in New South Wales Australia?
Do you have any clues on his NSW birth certificate, or are you now asking for his birth in Wales, or his unknown parents' births in wales?
Are there any clues on Arthur and Florence's marriage certificate?
Do we get any clues as to dates?

This is the couple I have no birth,
certificate, I am unsure if my great grandparents were born in Wales. but my mother told us we have welsh background, unfortunetly I haven't got much information as our mother couldn't remember then,and is now early dementia. my guess is that Arthur Charles Jones was born around 1903?

The government of New South Wales has a good BMD site at:
http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/Pages/family-history/family-histor...

The nearest I can find is:

Arthur C Jones, born Petersham, Sydney, NSW in 1885. Father: Frederick C - Mother Mary A E
he appears to have married a Florence E HESSION in 1905???

There are three possible marriage for the son:

Neville John JONES married Loretto Phyllis HEPBURN in 1942, North Sydney
Neville John JONES married Alice Patricia SEERY in 1947, Paddington, Sydney
Neville John JONES married Beverley May DODD in 1949, Chatswood

Without Arthur's parents names you will have virtually no chance of finding them in Wales.

This tree might be worth looking at:

but these Jones' were English, not Welsh.
