I feel sure that with diligent searching of censuses, this couple can be found. There is a CD on sale which tells where, in 1881, the majority of people of a particular surname lived. This is a surname associated with North Lancashire & Cumbria, although there are some over here in the Fylde. There are none of this name listed in the 1951 Accrington directory. I agree that she does have the appearaance of being in service. He looks as if he is in his working clothes, so the photo was likely taken close by where they lived at the time.
