A wee admin snippet that might help !
As you say on C1881 they lived in Longbenton*. The four children were recorded as born in Longbenton*
Births, deaths and marriages happening in Longbenton*, were registered with the Registration District of Tynemouth
( Morpeth Reg District lying to the north of Longbenton, covered communities including Morpeth, Ashington, Bedlington etc)

* Longbenton...
On C1881 they actually lived in mining village called Dudley Colliery, which lay within the "township" of Weetslade, which lay within the wider area of the Parish of Longbenton.
Ellen Coyle's birth was registered with Tynemouth RD in Dec Qtr of 1879

I cannot see a good candidate for Elizabeth Wanless/Lowther on C1871.
Is it possible that Elizabeth Wanless married someone before she married a Lowther ?
