If they married at 18, they wouldnt have been born by 1901! yet alone 1891.

You need to go one step at a time and gather more details about them.
Fathers names, ages etc from the marriage cert (if this marriage is the only reference you have of them), but presumably you have some interest in them and thus have other info that has led you to this marriage?  Tell all.

A quick glance at FreeBMD (have you checked there?) shows one birth for an Edith Powney in Clutton, which might be the person you are seeking - but there are plenty of other Edith Powneys around, any of which may be the one who marries, depending on her age at  marriage.

Stanley James Chivers was born 3q 1897 Clutton 5c 499 which would have him on the 1901 census.

Don't forget that BathBMD covers North-east Somerset as well as Bath itself, in particular all of the Clutton RD. Your couple married at St John the Baptist's in Midsomer Norton.

Further evidence for the candidates that have been found in the Midsomer Norton census.

The matching births are also from the Midsomer Norton sub-district, and the BathBMD entries give you their mothers' maiden names.
