Lincolnshire wives for Bradford Photographers 1870's - 1880's
« on: Thursday 01 April 10 11:43 BST (UK) »
~~~~~~~~
I have an ancestral pair of cousins Alfred E. and Christopher Fox in business in Bradford from about 1879 as Photographers. Both married women from Lincolnshire. In the case of Alfred E. both his first and second wives came from South Lincolnshire. I can't make the Lincs connection. I would also be interested in any information on their firm A.E. & C Fox, Photographers.

The Fox cousins wives were Rosa Blanche Lacey, from Boston, Lincs who married Alfred E. in Mar 1879 in Bradford; Mary Ann Wright, from Langrick, Lincs who was Alfred's second marriage in Dec 1883, in Bradford; Sophia Pickering from Butterwick, Lincs married Christopher Fox in Boston in Dec 1883.

The Lincolnshire link here intrigues me - anyone have anything on these family lines please?

The 1883 Kelly's Directory has the following photographers in Boston (perhaps people to find in 1881 census)

Edward Chapman HACKFORD, 30 Church yd
Luigi CELLA, 7a Wide Bargate
Frederick BEALES, 31 High St

An uncle of my grandad was a Photographer in Boston in 1881 (aged 14); he had moved to Lincoln in 1891 from where he moved eventually to the London area.

Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.
