Don't see any Edith's (did not add a surname) born in England, c 1899, in New Jersey.

Didn't I type immigration dates c1920's for William and one other person? I wonder if the "children" went back to England and the two daughters stayed? Or, perhaps more than one child died young, or Edith and Harriet lived in another state in 1930. (Hope that all makes sense!)
-----------
Just reread some of the posted information...on the 1930 census, both William and Albert are shown immigrating in 1921. Perhaps some of the family stayed in England?

Chris: you might want to post a separate lookup, asking for immigration records to the UK for your Marsh family members. I can see there were quite a few records going back to the UK, but I cannot view them. (Hope that makes sense.) Obviously, William and Albert(?) went back, because they returned to the US in 1921. Maybe others went back and stayed?

You can see some Marsh names

I believe there were a lot of other immigration records for both the Marsh's and Youngs. However, my family is now up (late risers today!), so I better stop now. Sorry I cannot provide more.
-----
We posted at the same time...perhaps if you would like the shipping records someone else may be able to help, or I might be able to come back another time. (I have been trying to help two other people, so should finish with them first.) It's been a lot of fun looking, so it was my pleasure to have found things for you. :)

PS Because there were so many family members, I may have missed finding some records.
