Still raining so no painting today....
Emma lovegrove born 1855 in london Islington I think. thats where her family lived.
I still feel that as the picture says Wantage which is where my grandmother used to go on holidays that William may have been Alexander known as William do wich they would use the right names !!

1911 census for Emma Goodenough.

GOODENOUGH EMMA F 1860 51 Reading Berkshire

GOODENOUGH EMMA F 1866 45 Windsor Berkshire

And this is the only William born about the right year

GOODENOUGH WILLIAM M 1856 55 Abingdon Berkshire

If the census in 1901 was taken in March she would have still been Emma Lovegrove as the marriage we posted was the December quarter.

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.

Even more confused.

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