Find Ancestors

I have a photo of William Goodenough and Emma Lovegrove born 1855 which could be a wedding photo .My grandmother is in it aged about 11yrs which makes the date of the photo about 1892 . All I know about William is that he was blind and was a piano tuner.I have been unable to find any information on the wedding so any help would be appreciated. The photo was taken outside a cottage in Wantage.

Which is the correct surname of Emma?

Do you have any census info or is that what you are after

Do you have a birth cert with Emma's name on?

Yes I am also waiting for Sue to come back to thread.

Tried 1881 census for a piano tuner in the name of Goodenough but no luck.

So did I !!! Had my lunch.

Maureen.... Sue says she has a photo of William with her grandmother in it, do you think her grandmother could have been Emma Brannon??? who was about 11 in 1892?????

Thanks for the help sorry if i confused you with the name it should have been Emma Lovegrove 1855. As I have so little info to go on have been finding it hard. I hink Mel you may have found her for me as Wantage is on the back of this photo do you know how I can get a copy of marriage certif.
Regards
Sue

Even more confused.

If Emma is still Lovegrove on 1901 census then this is a possible marriage but not to William

Your confused!!!
Yes in 1901 census she was Emma Lovegrove I can only think that the name on the photo is wrong maybe like so many of my relatives they used maybe middle names, do you now which month the census was done in1901.
