This was said to be the wedding photo (1870) of Edward Francis Cashel and Marre-a Olgin.
But I doubt this because: (a) the clothes look far too modern, and more importantly: (b) the photo is of too high a quality.
Perhaps it is the wedding photo (1917) of his son Edward Francis Cashel junior. It looks like him (see below).
