Messrs.
In the documents I've dealt with at work we use "Messrs." before a list of names. You could use Mr. and Mrs. if you're certain that it refers to a husband-and-wife couple.

followed by their names as given in your original. The same formulation can be used irrespective of gender. If your original gives a male with one surname and a female with another surname and calls her גברת so you are unable to tell whether or not she is married, you can always use Ms. If there is no title in your original, there is nothing against simply using the names.
