Hi,
 On the 1881 census in Wallsend, Northumberland there is a couple transcribed on familysearch.org as

William ANDERSON born 1860 Scotland General Labourer
Esther ANDERSON born 1857 Whitechurch (Hawk) England

RG11/5071/84 page 41

I cannot find them in 1891 and I cannot find a marriage in England for a William & Esther. It would be worth looking at the original to see what the actual birthplace of Esther is.

There is an interesting death showing in 1894

Esther Marie Hill, aged 34, burial 17th Feb Bedminster, Bristol. Unknown marital status.

There is a Whitchurch in Somerset
