I am researching early photographers and am trying to find details about
Charles Pembroke Gearing (b.1820 in Hammersmith). Baptised on 16 Aug 1820 (Father: John Brooke Gearing). I believe he married Emma Goodenough (b.1822 in Sunbury on Thames). He was a photographer living in Beresford Street, Lambeth in 1861 and in Cheshire in 1871. In 1881 he is a widow in East Molesey.
(They may have had a son named Henry?).
Charles John Gearing (b.1860 in Walworth, Surrey) is shown as their son.Baptised on 28 Dec 1860. He was a photographer at Gleneagle House, Gleneagle Road, Streatham in 1891. I believe he may have owned a number of studios, including 52 Regent Street, Westminster (1891).Emma Frances Gearing, is also shown here.
Charles John Gearing died on 14 Aug 1933 in East, Dulwich, Surrey.
Their is reference to a Charles Henry James Gearing (photographer) but I can find no entries for him.
Any assistance welcome - Regards Bobfilm
