Looking for William Clarke and wife Edith Catherine/Catherine Edith in 1901 and 1911 census.  William was born 1862 Leatherhead, Surrey, Edith Catherine born 1870 Hertfordshire.
In the 1891 census William Clarke and Edith Catherine were living at Ventnor, Isle of Wight. William's occupation was coal merchant.
Have Edith Catherine in 1939 Register, she was widowed.
Any help please, thank you.

Found the 1891 entry - no children.  Have you checked GRO online maiden name facility for births post 1891?

Is this their marriage:

Mar 1891 Fulham 1a 407
Clarke William
Nelson Edith Catherine

Births around that time, not necessarily theirs:

CLARKE, NELSON  JOHN mmn NELSON
GRO Reference: 1892  M Quarter in BERKHAMSTED  Volume 03A  Page 626

CLARKE, MARY  JANE NELSON mmn NELSON 
GRO Reference: 1893  J Quarter in CARLISLE  Volume 10B  Page 568

Only the two up to 1900.

Mary Jane Nelson found in 1901 in Cumberland not the right one.

William Clarke and Edith Catherine married Fulham 1891.

The death of Nelson John Clarke ties in fine as Edith Catherine was from Berkhampstead.
