Hi Sandra,

Interested to hear that you're a descendant of Sidney Webb. I have done a little research on him but not in depth.

I remember looking for his marriage to Ellen but didn't think I'd got it right, as it was in London!
When I looked at the 1901 census I found that she had been born in London so this was possibly correct.

Do you happen to have a photograph Sidney?  Photographs of photographers are not that common. I've been a photographer for most of my life and there are not many pictures of me!

Regards

John

Hi John,

I don't have a photograph of Sidney Webb unfortunately.  You have the correct marriage for Sidney & Ellen Webb,  they married at Marylebone in 1854, and were in Lewis Street, Pembroke Dock by 1858 when their first son Thomas was born, his occupation then was bricklayer journeyman.  The family story is that Sidney Webb came to PD to help build the town and he was certainly a stonemason on his marriage certificate, as was his father Peter Webb.  He was in Commercial Row by January 1861 and still a bricklayer when daughter Rosa Ellen died, but was a licenced victualler by May of 1861 when his daughter Emma was born in Commercial Row.  On the 1861 census he was a licensed victualler at the Pembroke Dock House, Commercial Row.  They were still in Commercial Row in 1864 when son Sidney Elliott Webb died - now a photographer! By the time my great grandmother Ella was born in 1871 they had moved to Dimond Street.  They later lived at the Prince of Wales pub on the corner of Dimond Street and Laws Street and Sidney Webb died at 12 Laws Street in 1918 aged 85 years and still recorded as a photographer.  I suspect he 'kept his hand in' over the years with the bricklaying and building while also working as a photographer and Ellen looked after the pub side of things.  12 Laws Street was still in the family up until my great grandmother Ella died in the 1950s.

Regards
Sandra

Hi Sandra,

Thanks very much for the new information about your ancestors.

I will take some photographs of the houses you mention and the public house next time I'm in Pembroke.

I think Sidneys job in the docks was quite important to be able to use the information on the back of his carte-de-visite cards.  Somewhere I read that he photographed all the dock workers, an early security pass I suppose.

I'll keep in touch.

Regards

As a descendent of Fredrick Nedahl I have collected what I can find on the web, and a couple of items of family history. I'm afraid that family knowledge or records is practically non-existent in my branch of the tree.

I would be interested in information that might enable me to do further research, hopefully for all of our interest.

Frederick Nedahl Photographer

Hi Zalib,

I did have a look at Frederick Nedahl some time last year. I attach a tree that I did at the time, don't know if it is correct in every aspect.

I had a chance to see one of his Cart-de-visite photographs with his name on the reverse, I've added this as well.

Hello.  I have come across a photograph album with photos taken by the Arthur Squibbs photographer.  Would anybody be interested in having these pictures - i cannot date them but they look old and look like they should be in a local museum.  Happy to send them off.

Arthur Squibbs photos

Replying to Lambkin.    I am happy to send the photographs to someone like yourself who appreciates them.  I do not know who the people in the photos are so they mean nothing to me.  I also do not want any payment - I just don't think they belong in the bin.  If I have an address then I will send them on.  I have to say I find this forum difficult to navigate as replying personally has been blocked???
