This looks like the marriage, with William's surname mis-spelled:

Marriages Sep 1853
FORD    William King       
HASLETT    Emma   
E London 1c 47

Not so sure about that marriage now: if you look on Bath BMD http://www.bathbmd.org.uk/ you'll find the births of William and Emma's children with her maiden name given as BRISTOW...  ???

Perhaps it was a second marriage for her?  I can't see anything else that fits at the moment.

Do you need census info for other years?

thanks for further info, and it makes more sense. what I and others are trying to do is do lateral thinking on our research for Henry Montagu. He married Gertrude K Fortt  (william King Fortts daughter)in 1891, and as we are at a dead end as far as finding details of HGMs parents etc , we thought that if we could perhaps find relations of WKF they might have details of wedding and guests etc. maybe photo's!!!!!!! A long shot I guess, but will try anything.
Much appreciate your help.

Do you have a wedding cert for Henry Grahame Montagu and Gertrude?  That will show his father's name.

It's a shame they married after the 1891 census, and Gertrude died before the 1901 census, but I would have thought the Henry Grahame Montagu(e) born in Bath in 1862, son of Henry Grahame Montagu(e) and Louisa Maria Bennett, was a strong possibility.  (Free BMD has him as MONTAQUE, but Bath BMD has MONTAGUE).

Once again thanks for your interest and help.
Actually have detailed information re Henry G Montagu from the age of 15. Also he puts his fathers name as Charles. So  in spite of myself and a miriad of other members of this vast family researching him, none of us are able to find his birth details or even of his parents. Which I would dearly love to find.
Another line of enquiry, would be to have a look at the 1841 census for Bath and see if he is there as a small child of approx 2 - 4 . 
That would be so helpful.
