Family Annie Maria CORNWELL, b. Jun Q 1867, Kennington, Surrey, England , d. Dec Q 1934, Alton Reg Dist, Hampshire, England (Age ~ 67 years)
Other Partners: Arthur Charles GOATHAM m. 7 Nov 1887Living as if married From 1895 - Although not together on census night in 1901 or 1911, both were shown as married, living near each other, Annie with the surname Ricketts, and in 1911 the information only requested for married women showed that Annie was claiming to be in a marriage which had completed 16 years. Although only requested for married women, the length of marriage has also been entered for Harry, and is given as 15 years. Hence I am guessing that Harry and Annie had been living as man and wife since about 1895.
The 1911 census also showed there had been one child of this marriage who had died (in Annie's entry only). I cannot find a child whose birth was registered as a Ricketts with a mother's maiden name of Cornwell, and haven't found the birth of child registered as a Goatham who could be the offsping of this couple.
Married Mar Q 1921 Brentford Reg Dist, Middlesex, England - GRO ref: Goatham, Ann M to Ricketts, Harry M q1 1921 Brentford RD 3a 388
I suspect Harry and Annie married in Brentford RD, either when visiting Annie's daughter or on a trip there especially to get married, because they had been living for many years as husband and wife and didn't want friends and neighbours in Hampshire finding out that they hadn't actually been married.
The 1911 census suggests they had had one child together who had died, but I have not discovered who they were. (It is possible the reference is to a child of Annies, rather than them as a couple, although in that case I would have expected that she would also be shown as having a living child, which she is not)
