George & Ellen are at 21 St Sidwell Street after the 1881 censusMissed this, Rosie, as I was called away and have only just posted what I'd written a while ago!There's no sign of a ring so I'm thinking that it might well be a pre-marriage photo that he possibly reprinted in the 1880sThe photographer is E. Denney & Co. I'm not sure who E. Denney is? Here is an example of his advertisement.Edith Cecilia Lea, the lady in the photo, wasn't married until 1908. And she was born in 1860.

I see that the photo is of Edith Lea and not Ellen Pearce. Also, the name on the photo is E Denny not G, so now I'm confused.
I've been looking at your Edith. Is she the one who became a boarding school head by 1891? Also she moved to Exeter sometime between 1871 and 1881
Sorry if I was confusing you Gadget. . Ellen Pearse was married to the photographer George Denney and they were both resident at 21 St Sidwell Street. Maybe the business being named E Denney was after his wife Ellen, she was older than him in 1881 he was 25, she was 40.
How do you know that it is Edith? Thinking it's a re-print. The hair is classic early 1870s.
