Photographer's studio Weston-S-Mare

[mrs.tenacious]

Would anyone be able to find out which years R W BROWN & SONS, Boulevard Studio, W-S-M
were in business, please?

I have a photo of my grandmother b. 1898 in which she looks to be around 20+ years old, so it must be about the late 1910s.  Her family ran some shops in Royal Arcades from 1896, and Boulevard from about 1907 onwards.

There was a Reginald Walter Brown who died 1939 retired photographer
probate to Walter Henry Brown photographer

His marriage at 21 lists him as a photographer (in 1894)
if this is the right R W Brown of course

Have you a street address for the studio?

The following site lists various dates and permutations of the business name and address (too many to list here) - go to Search Records, then Somerset and Brown:
