Elizabeth - you can search Ellis Island arrivals at www.ellisisland.org for free.
I've had a quick look and there are quite a few Ernest Woods and Helen* Woods arriving in the US. However, without knowing their birth year it will take some whittling down.

not sure on age they would be or location, as they were listed on my maternal grandmothers birth certificate as living at 105 Arthur Street, Ryde Isle of Wight in Novemebr 1900, but were not at that address on 1901 census.

No not them. This looks like the marriage as their fist child was born in Birmingham.
Unfortunately 2 Woods married on the same listing.

Marriages Dec 1896 (>99%)
Wood Frederick William Birmingham 6d 376
Wood Walter Eric Birmingham 6d 376

to Helene Thompson


No marriage listing at all that I can find for Helene Hanlon. Can you tell us how you came to be looking for her?
