I can't see a marriage on Findmypast or FreeBMD for the two you mention in 1904 or any other year.
Where was Amelia Chandler on the 1901 census?
EDIT - Sorry - I've now found the marriage under the name Brain.

Could this be them in 1911? If so it says they've been married 20 years, 2 children, both have died.

Looking at the marriage from FamilySearch, their ages are rather different to those on the 1911:
William Henry Chandler, "England Marriages, 1538–1973 " Name: William Henry Chandler Birth Date: 1856 Age: 48 Spouse's Name: Louisa Brain Spouse's Birth Date: 1874 Spouse's Age: 30 Event Date: 09 Jul 1904 Event Place: St. Matthias, Bristol, Gloucester, England Father's Name: Bryant Chandler Spouse's Father's Name: Frederick Vott Spouse's Mother's Name: Indexing Project (Batch) Number: I02533-9 System Origin: England-EASy GS Film number: 1596630 Reference ID: 99
EDIT: Browsing through previous census William Henry Chandler (son of Bryant) is always listed as a plasterer whereas the 1911 posted above has him as a carpenter?

Given that W H is recorded as Henry on previous census, I think this is the correct 1911:
CHANDLER, Henry Head Married M 50 1861 Plasterer Gloucestershire Clifton Bristol CHANDLER, Louisa Wife Married17 years F 38 1873 Domestic Gloucestershire Bristol CHANDLER, William Son Single M 15 1896 Not Any Occupation Gloucestershire Bristol CHANDLER, Elizabeth Daughter F 13 1898 Gloucestershire Bristol CHANDLER, Walter Son M 9 1902 Gloucestershire Bristol CHANDLER, Louisa Daughter F 6 1905 Gloucestershire Bristol CHANDLER, Florance Daughter F 4 1907 Gloucestershire Bristol CHANDLER, Gorgie Son M 0 (10 MONTH) 1911 Gloucestershire Bristol CHANDLER, Elsie Daughter Single F 16 1895 Not Any Yet South Wales
RG number: RG14 Piece: 15016 Reference: RG14PN15016 RG78PN906 RD319 SD6 ED19 SN248 Registration District: Bristol Sub District: St Philip and St Jacob Enumeration District: 19 Parish: Bristol
Address: 29 Wellington St Easton County: Gloucestershire
It does say on the image that they'd been married 17 years, it also states 8 children born (1 had died). Given that the number of children born is to Louisa then I think that may include children from her first marriage.
