Using the Oxfordshire Family History Society Search Suite, there is a baptism in Witney for a Thomas BIRCH on 13 April 1798, the son of Thomas and Esther. However...

The only other BIRCH/ BURCH record I could find in Witney around that time was the baptism of Maria BIRCH on 26 November 1800, the daughter of John and Esther. I could not find a marriage anywhere in Oxfordshire for a Thomas (or a John) BIRCH/ BURCH to an Esther.

I fear this is not as hopeful as you would have liked.

Given that Thomas married in Norfolk, and the family later lived in Suffolk, you might consider this marriage:
14 May 1789
at Woodbridge, Suffolk
Thomas Burch and Esther Cross
