I wonder if anybody could assist me. I am researching Early Essex Photographers and noticed that
‘margaretedah’ mentions
A-1. Richard Stephen LADELL (Married 1851 Anne Campling FOULSHAM)The PhotoLondon website has a Richard Stephen Ladell -
Biography: Ladell, Richard Stephen. Born in 1830. Studio: 335 City Road, Finsbury 1876 - 1877. Successors to G J Atkins; succeeded by S W Saunders. Bill of sale September 25 1876 £130, at 83 Newington Causeway, Southwark. Died in Epsom 1888.Is this the same person and did he have any connections with photography? Also a daughter Minnie Sophia Ladell (born 1857) is not mentioned as one of his children?.
Regarding their daughter
B-3. Kate Ann Ladell Born 1855. No other knowledge at present.I believe that she and
Frederick Hadlow (born 1851 in Reigate, Surrey – died 1923 in St Albans) were together.
I cannot find any details of marriage, but they seem to be a couple and had 4 children.
It would seem that Frederick Hadlow who was a Photographer in Reigate (c. 1871) was previously married to Ada Lancaster (born 27 Dec 1855 in Oxford Street, Southampton). He is shown as marrying her on 29 May 1874 (The Register Office, Stockton, Co Durham). He is resident at Denmark Street, Linthorpe as Studio Photographer. Ada’s father ran a Photographic business in Grosvenor Street, Chester. They may have had a child, as an Ada Lily Hadlow is shown later as being born on 29 March 1875 in Durham, Yorkshire.
The next time I can find him is 1881 in Mile End, Stepney as a Photographer Operator, with his wife
Kate (born 17 Dec 1854 in Norwich, Norfolk – died 1945?). He goes on to run a photographic studio in Barking Road, Plaistow. Between 1877 and 1881, they have 4 children - Kate, Rose, Daisy and George Frederick. By 1891 he has given up photography and is now a General Labourer and later a Saw Mill Labourer in West Ham. I think he may have died in St. Albans in 1923, but do not know what happen to Kate after 1911.
I would appreciate it if anyone can confirm Frederick Hadlow marriage to Kate Ladell, also her father’s connection to running a photographic studio. I can supply more detailed notes to other researchers if this would assist them.
