What was his occupation from the marriage certificate,when was his birth year, and had he been married before?
Have you got them in the previous censuses?

Thank-you

Emily was living with her mother in the 1891and still single and im still waiting for my certs I sent for I found a Edward matthew Hodgson born 1863 .but that would make a 13 year age differance did they do that then

I think waiting for the certificates might be best, saves guessing, e.g. missionaries.

I just wondered how you got to them whilst knowing nothing about him.

My main line is Flower I was looking into William John Flower he was the Rector of Bellingham Northumberland he married Ethel Mary St Clair Blackmore in1924
Her Father was a John Canter Blackmore and Emily Sarah Blackmore is his sister.so I looked for her marriage .plus on a visit to Hexham there was a pice in the local paper that the bride wore a vail lent to her by her aunt Lady Hodgson Pam
