The Common Room / Information on Horace H Dudley (Photographer)
« on: Monday 25 June 18 13:42 BST (UK) »
Hello all!. I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have recently embarked on a quest to find out as much as I can on the West Bromwich Photographer, Horace H. Dudley. I see many photographs on this website of his. I know very little of his personal life or any photographs of him. So far I have learnt:
He was born on 14 January 1877 and died December 1954 at the old age of 68.
When he was born he was living at 7 Victoria terrace in Worcestershire with his five siblings and a live in maid.
By 24 he was a self-employed Photographer, still living with his parents, but in a house in Dudley (29 queens cross) which is a mosque now.
His studio at 14 beeches rd was listed in the phone book since 1926.
Horace married Elizabeth F Dudley (still trying to find her maiden name).
By 1939 he was retired (can't find an exact retirement date.), yet most of his studios were still in trade directories up until 1940, when they all stopped being listed except the one in Bradford street. Which makes me think his son Alan may have taken over?
Thank you for all and any help.
Mathew.
