Have you traced the parents back?
Your image is difficult to read but I think it is James Boxwell and Margaret Ann. Is that right?
There is a tree which shows James with a father, Charles D’Arcy.

There is a birth - Minnie Darcey mmn Harrison x 1894.

Marriage December quarter 1885
James D’Arcy and Margaret Ann Harrison.

1881 he's D'Arcy

Charles D'arcy 51  b Ireland
James D'arcy    19    Son b Bolton

He's sometimes referred to as James Darcy Boxwell on his children's records.  Jesse is also a Darcy Boxwell

The relevant column on the 1911 census asks for number of COMPLETE years of marriage. ;)
So a marriage in 1885.
Garrad (Suffolk, Essex, Somerset), Crocker (Somerset), Vanstone (Devon, Jersey), Sims (Wiltshire), Bridger (Kent)

Not what you originally asked about but I wondered if you knew Ada emigrated to Canada in 1920? She was destined to a job in Cornwall, Ontario. The employer had paid her passage, if I remember correctly.

Ada Darcy Boxwell married James Alfred Wilson 17 Jan 1921 in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada and had 6 children as of the 1931 census. Her parents given as James Darcy Boxwell and Margaret Ann Harrison.
