C D'Silva - Photographer, India
« on: Wednesday 12 October 16 21:20 BST (UK) »
Hi all,

I am tracing my family history and have come across a C D'Silva who was a photographer from around 1860 - 1910 approximately.

They had studios in Jhansir, Jubbulpore and Lucknow & their main subjects were army personnel.

I would be extremely grateful to have any further info about him / her.

Sincerely,

Richard

Hi Richard,

A bit of a long shot but have you had a look at FIBIS? They have a wide range of databases which are free to non-members.
