Dublin / Re: Stanley, Photographer in Dublin around 1890

Ah, that makes sense now.

But I started this thread really to find out when the three photos I have from Stanley's were taken. That's John and wife, son Matthew, and 4 daughters.

They comprise the part of my family which went to SA in 1896. Not my grandfather Andrew - who refused to go, which is why I'm in the UK!

If John and wife were wearing slightly out of date clothes, all the photos were taken at least 6 years after we thought. And not taken to John's father's funeral in Lancashire in 1889.

Which doesn't rule out the fact that John's picture did end up in New Zealand as well as here....
via SA.... several people's family tree dating could be affected by this!

Comments please? Alison

The link with Lauder Bros - https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=747610.0
The backdrop's very similar to that in two of my photos.

Any comments on my family theory, please?

Thanks to all....but my last reply doesn't seem to have got here

i was trying to draw a conclusion...were John Little and wife wearing slightly outdated clothes?
They were dated 1889 here by the clothing...

I also put in a find, of Lauder Bros at the same address, 32 WESTMORELAND STREET - I put in a link which I've now lost, sorry! and a similar carte photo somewhere on Rootschat, with no date.

 - the background of that photo was very similar - did Stanley take over their studio?

Dublin / Stanley, Photographer in Dublin around 1890

I'd be grateful if anybody could anybody could point me to a site giving access to information about a photographer called Stanley (surname) producing 'cartes de visite' in Dublin about this date.

I have three of these of known family and am trying to make out is whether they were all taken at the same time. One of these was dated here as about 1889 (John Little and wife), the others may be later (their children).  The subjects  of all three left for South Africa in 1896.

I've tried Google. Can't get into the right part of the only site which might have this!
Any help please?

Hi Paul. If you send me an email a/d via messages, I will send you what I have on my uncle Maurice?
Sorry I can't do much more as I'm rather busy writing a novel...

I know very little about my aunt Henrietta (Betty) as unfortunately she didn't get on with my mother, and I didn't see my uncle (who I was very fond of) much after they married.

Thank you everybody again.
John is very pleased with the results but is taking a break for a bit.
 - he says 'There are some very good research people on RootsChat!

I may well have more queries later!
Cheers, Alison xx
