As a matter of interest, have you tried searching for any of the photographer's on the census returns ?
Also, was the link posted by 'hanes teulu' of any help ? :)

Yes all the advice is proving helpful. It is just a pity no one has compiled a list before as my large cities have.

John Ingham 1842-1902 was very  likely my Great-great Uncle as he had a son "Frank Ingham" who was a photographer with a studio at Brookes's Bar in Manchester.
