Hi Miranda,
Thank you for replying, no I have not made any progress based on firm evidence, and can't discount your George, but I am considering whether the vicar in the photograph could instead have been a curate assigned to St Agnes, Longsight where I think the wedding took place.
So with reference to the following image which shows the "minister" from my photograph on the left and the said curate on the right (taken I believe in a later year), if you allow for the passage of time, the different lighting and angle of each head, plus the receding hairline of the man on the right and the glasses which make his eyes seem larger than they are, both men have a nose with a non-straight profile and slightly arched nostrils, indistinct eyebrows and cleft chins?
But I'm open to opinions on this view.
