There is a marriage of a Martha Johnson to William Beech in 1877, St Mary, Blymhill - so a possibility.

Hi

Not having much luck finding a marriage, but there may well be a clue in the 1861 census

Staffordshire Blymhill: 

Henry Johnson    hd    mar.   30     Ag Lab.     bn. Staffs.  Weston
Mary      "           wf      "       31                      "   Shrops. Clee Downton
SARAH A WALTERS   Dau.    10    scholar        "   Staffs.   Weston
Mary Johnson              "         8       "              "   Shrops  Alveley
George                     son       5       "              "   Staffs   Blymhill
Martha                     dau       3       "              "       "            "

Class RG 9  Piece  1853  Folio  14  Page 5.

Hi

From that census it tells us that the wife 'Mary Johnson' was born about 1830 Clee Downton in Shropshire. About two miles from there is Stoke St. Milborough where there is this baptism

Mary Elizabeth Walters bp. 27 September 1829 Stoke St Milborough. Parents: George Walters and Mary.

To add.. Mary Johnson in the 1871 census puts her place of birth as 'Stoke Shropshire'

If this is any help I show John Beech, born Jan.10, 1874 in Shifnal. Shropshire. 
He died Dec. 28, 1954.
His spouse was Mary Ray, born in 1868, died 1952.  Had one child Elsie Jane Beech

Maybe this will help.

Regards,
