Interested in any information on Harry Aylmer MORTIMER known as Henry. He was my gg grandfather.
He was b 1832 British Subject in France (anyone know how to research where?)
He does not appear in 1851C in England or Wales as far as I can find .
He does appear in 1861C as Henry MORTIME, Lodger unm age 42(!), Artisan, Photographist, born France. Living Sarcens Head (Inn) High St, Llansannan Denbighshire.
He obviously meets his wife to be here: Margaret REES b1837 Garthbeibio, Montgomeryshire as she is found in the 1861C in Llansannan as Margared REES working as a servant.
Their children are born: Harry Aylmer (jnr) 1862 Llanfyllin, Margaret Jane 1865 Builth, Frederick William 1867, Flora Susannah 1869, Hugh Rees 1872, Percival Waliston 1873, Catherine Ada 1875, Evan Whitrich 1876, and Mary Gertrude 1878. The latter 8 children are born at Llanwrtyd / Breconshire. Evan is noted as being born at "London House", Llanwrtyd.
Margaret had sister Jane who m Evan MORRIS farmer of Garthbeibio. Her parents were Hugh and Jane REES of Garthbeibio.
He is recorded in Slater's Directory, 1868 for Photographers.
SOUTH WALES
Llanwrtyd (Wells), South Wales.
Henry Mortimer, Llanwrtyd.
He dies in 1906 in Builth, Dec Qtr.
I can not find any record of Henry and Margaret marrying.
Nor can I trace Harry back to any Mortimer family due to birth in France as do not know where to start - would be interested in family connections.
Would also be interested in sighting any photographs taken by him

Hello Warwick,
I saw your data on The photogragher H.A Mortimer and wondered if you ever got a reply or found his family link?
I ask as I recently bought a very old photo album from the UK and on the back of one of the photos was his photograghy business name.
Now some of the photos in the album - this family have the name REES in it too. I am curious as to whether he was related to them or just a coincidence..
And plus I have the surname Mortimer in my family tree.
hope you are still at this address.......judy from Aust.

That is very very interesting and I trust teh album is intact.
Harry Alymer MORTIMER is my GG grandfather (my Grandmother was a Mortimer). His wife is Margaret REES and so yes they will be family photo's which I would love to sight. I spent a whole day searching for family in Llanwrtyd Wells, Wales when I was there in 2007.
I have the Mortimer Family tree in my family traced back to HA MORTIMER's birth in 1832 as a British Subject in France but it stops there and can not track his parents! Nor can I find some of the descendants.
If you email me back on "(*)" we can compare notes on family trees etc....
Hope to hear from you soon.
