Unknown Photo, Family surnames are Pickford, Trollop, Barber & Cook

[kinsey5156]

I came across this photo in a box of our  family photographs and wonder if anyone has any ideas of how I could trace who it is. No name on the back.

It was taken by a studio in Frome Somerset in commemoration of this lady's 80th birthday in 1905.
She was born on 28th February, 1825.
Family surnames are Pickford, Trollop, Barber and Cook.

I have searched the date of birth within Somerset and Wiltshire but did not have any luck.

It would be so good to find out who this lady was. It is a great photo.
Any help or ideas of what to do next would be appreciated.

Just come across this  and found it an interesting search.

I had a look on Free BMD at marriages of someone born in 1825 so guessed between 1845 / 55
didn't enter a  name for bride... but entered Pickford for Groom -- and Wiltshire ---
there are around 14.... So then I tried Somerset and there were too many to count.

If there had been less I would then have looked at the 1861 census to see if a lady born 1825 under any of the names I had found- actually fit the bill.. and then would have followed her through the census.... but that is a long winded way of doing things. Would need plenty of patience
and the need to know who and why etc...  So  - I doubt I could do any more just now.. (in the middle of a major house move crisis that has been ongoing since MAY  aaargh !!!) 
But thought I would pop this on for you to see how I would tackle finding someone without a name...... its far from easy, but fun.

Hi Kinsey,

Assuming you have all birth certs. I would just search your tree to see who was born that year & try to find out which, out of your list possibly died in Frome with an age/birth year that matches?

You may even be able to discount some depending on occupations & wealth, who may have been able to afford such a luxury in that era?

Added; I forgot to say what a lovely pic & how good the lady looks for her age.
