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

This may be helpful it looks a promising lead to the family . Thomas Edward Burch b 1897 98 was a school teacher also a tea dealer probably later.
, a little more information to add to profile . . 2 of his sons James and Thomas Libbis were both sea captains ,Thomas Libbis Burch taking the first shipment of wool from Gisborne NZ to England an other son John Edward m Harriet Youds this family bcame to NZ on the ship Cartvale 1874 spelt as Bivch on the ships passengers list are my connection ggrandparents .
Thomas Edward is the one i need .
