I am pretty sure that the grandfather of Edmund Huther the photographer in Londonderry is Killean Huther and grandmother Sarah. Edward Frederick Huther his father was born in London and his son George married a sister of Edmund's wife Mary Clarke. The Clarke's and Huthers seem connected professionally or otherwise.

Edmund Joseph HUTHER
 
Edmund Joseph Huther 1841/2 – 1877

 

Photographic Business

Edmund Huther first advertised his photographic studio in Londonderry, Northern Ireland in 1865 and remained in that city until his death in 1877 at the age of only 33.

His wife, Mary, took over the business and ran it until at least 1882 as well as opening a studio in Letterkenny, over the border in County Donegal in Eire.

Census

1861 – census destroyed by order of the Irish government

1871 – census destroyed by order of the Irish government

1881 – Mary Huther (Edmund’s mother), photographer, age 57 Twentymans Lane, St Mary Within, Cumberland, England with her husband Edward Huther, taylor

1891 –  Mary Huther (Edmunds wife), age 48 at 11 Penrith Street, Toxteth Park, Liverpool with oldest son James (aged 26) shown as a photographer and 3 other children

1901 – Mary Huther (Edmund’s wife), age 57, at 16 Brown Street, Glasgow with her sons James and Edmund and with her daughter Mary Mckeown who had 2 sons, Joseph Huther aged 8 and Edmund Mckeown aged 4.

Edmund Huther was born between January 15th 1841 and January 14th 1842 (according to his gravestone) in Dublin, Eire. His parents were named Edward Frederick Huther and Mary Huther but little else is known of his parents nor his early life as his birth certificate has not been located and census returns from Ireland from that period having been lost or destroyed many years ago.

Edmund opened a photographic studio in Foyle Street, Londonderry when he was about 21 years old and first advertised it in trade directories in 1865. His advert at that time, according to the excellent book ‘A Century in Focus’ by W A Maguire, stated :-
◾Open daily for the execution of Cartes-de-Visite, Glass pictures, & Views taken to order anywhere in the Province
◾Pictures of any description copied and enlarged to the life size by the Solar Camera
◾Photographs painted in Oil or Water Colour
◾Portraits taken at night, or in dark weather, by the Magnesium Light

 A marriage record, which appears below, relates to an ‘Edmond’ Huther and states that he married Mary Clarke in Londonderry Roman Catholic Church on the 21st June 1866. It is thought that Mary was born about 1844 in Londonderry.

Edmund’s and Mary’s fathers are recorded as Huther and Clarke respectively but no fore names are given. The witnesses were Mr Douglass and Mary Jane Douglass.

Forget Holms farm. To sound more positive here are your ancestors. According to his marriage certificate James Craig was the son of James Craig and Christina Miller. James senior was a ship wright and was born in Greenock Renfrewshire on 28 April 1815 to William Craig and Isabella MacIntosh.
James senior remarried Mary Buchanan in 1854 after the death of Christina Miller (betw 1851-1854)
Here are some census records which may interest you.
Greenock rather than Avondale is your ancestral home. All the best Robbie

So to make it clear, I believe that Haxehead was actaully in Muirkirk and not Douglas.  Hazelhead (or as you thought that Hazelhead was actaully Haxehead) in Douglas has no historical reference to it in Douglas Parish and that    only    Haxehead is referred to in the Muirkirk parish records and is not referred to as in Douglas parish. I am working on Haxehead (which could be a place called Hawkshead?) and is a place in Muirkirk parish and may be in the Register of Saines or other historical doument pertaining to Muirkirk parish.
