I have newspaper advertisements of G REDFERN (George) and R REDFERN (Richard) photographers working in Auckland 1870-1888.
I am keen to trace their movements and I'm particularly interested in any REDFERN photos taken at other locations. eg Hamilton, Russell etc.
Do Electoral Rolls give any locations for Richard?
I know George moved about NZ a fair bit; Richard went to Australia in 1889 and set up business in Hawthorne VIC.
Any help appreciated

I have several photographs taken by Richard Redfern of the Pink and White Terraces which were destroyed in the Tarawera eruption. These were given to me by my grandmother and I could scan these if necessary (would need someone to tell me how to send then online) if you are interested.

Hi Dementia, and welcome to RootsChat :) :)

I see from their profile that the original poster, PEM07, hasn't logged in to RootsChat since September 2016, but I hope that you get a response to your post.

In the meantime, if you need any advice about how RootsChat works, feel free to reply to this topic with any questions.

Happy New Year,

Thanks Lu.

I have a photo of William Newby Leggett and Wife Ann which I think is on that house porch but need to find it. :)

Hi - I am interested in buying a George Redfern photograph - I cannot seem to figure out how to contact anyone on this site to let them know though.  Can anyone help?

Hello and welcome to Rootschat..... :)

If you type in George Redfern you will come across some of his work and be able to make purchases.
