Thomas Heaviside, Photographer
« on: Thursday 05 November 09 11:59 UTC (UK) »
Does anyone have access to his obituary which appeared in the 1887 Durham Directory?  His sister was my gggm . . .

I've seen a number of photographs from him scattered around the web but does anyone know if there are any large collections of his works anywhere?

I am "in-lawed" to the Heaviside family.

From my notes on the Heaviside line:

I have seen one small painting of Whitby Abbey painted by Thomas Heaviside, one photograph of the Heaviside party sitting in front of the ruins at Finchale Abbey. No names of the party are mentioned on the photograph but it assumed that the photographer was Thomas Heaviside and he got himself into the photograph. Some of the servants/coachmen
and their familes could be in the photograph also. Probably Thomas Heaviside went to Whitby on the train and by coach from his house in Durham City to Finchale. I have seen one pencil sketch of an unknown Heaviside of about twenty years old, possibly drawn by Thomas or possibly by one of the children.

Some years ago one of the Durham photographers had a large glass negative collection of the Heaviside photographs,
What became of them I do not know.

Hi,

A biography of Thomas Heaviside can be found in 'Durham Biographies Volume One' which was produced by Durham County Local History Society. (ISBN 0-902958-20-8).

The biography states that "Photographs by Heaviside can be seen, and copies obtained , from the photographic archive at Beamish Museum and there are examples of his work at Durham University Library".
