Hi Jenz

What was her address on marriage?  Father's name on marriage certificate?
Witnesses of marriage?
Any known siblings?

These might help to locate her accurately.

Hi Jenz

You don't mention a town but there is this family in Walsall 1901 census:

12 Collyhedge ......

Thomas BIRCH 40 cabinet maker b.Bloswich
Clara wife 42 b.Walsall
Annie dau 17 sorter (buckle?) b.
Lily dau 14 lock cleaner
Martha dau 11
Clara dau 7
George B? son 3

All children born Walsall. 

RG13/2698 folio 131

I don't know if this is the family that you are looking for as there was another Clara in the area at least :-\  It is a lot easier if you post everything that you know ie. town, father's occupation etc. etc.

Best wishes
