There will not be records in England for them - passenger lists from Europe were not kept.
Looking at the position of Aachen, I wonder if they may have gone from a port in Belgium as it may have been closer by train to go that way.

Looking at your other messages,  it seems that Wilhelmina married in Reading.  In the 1881 census there is also a Becker family in reading, headed by Henry Becker from Germany, he probably married in Islington in 1867 to Mary Ann Buchanan, was in Berkshire in 1871 and moved to Reading by 1881.  He could have been a relative of Wilhelmina, hence how she ended up in Reading for her marriage.

On the passenger list that brionne found from 1922, Wilhelmina Becker is listed as a widow and was naturalized by marriage.  She was living in Chicago and was traveling with a Henrietta Wien who lived at the same address.  Since Becker was the maiden name of the one you're looking, I would suspect that she's not your Wilhelmina.
