Have you checked the 1911 census for them to establish birthplaces etc

Was Essie a nickname as there is no marriage with that name - what was her maiden name

Have you checked freebmd for any of the childrens births - mothers maiden name was shown from September qtr 1911 onwards

Could Essie be Esther Williams - see marriage on freebmd in 1908

www.lancashirebmd.org.uk shows marriage was at St Peters
