Photographs linking to Sheffield, Derbyshire, Southport, Manchester

[Hunter]

Hi

I have a photograph album which was presented to:

Miss Emily Todd
with many returns of the day
April 13 /69 (I assume it is 1869)

The photographs are on small postcards with various details of the photographers on the back including the areas I have mentioned.

One photograph has a pencil written inscription as follows:
Mr J Fairhurst in his 75 year July11 /74

The album would have been of very good quality, with leather cover and metal clasp, unfortunately it is now without the spine. 

If anyone thinks they have a family connection please get in touch.

Hi Hunter !

What a shame that no-one has claimed your photograph albumn.  I wish it were mine.


Perhaps someone will, one day.

Hi Mobo

It's sad to think that I 'rescued' it from a second hand shop who dealt with house clearances. 

I dread to think what my lot will do with all my treasured posessions some day...

I also would love to pass them off as my ancestors, but I can't seem to find any family resemblence, besides none of my lot could have ever afforded to have photos taken.  (Or did they photograph the inmates of the poor house?)

Dear Hunter,

I don't have any family connection, but I would very much appreciate being able to feature images of the Derbyshire photographs from your album on my web site devoted to Victorian & Edwardian Derbyshire Photographers and Photographic Studios, please.  I have compiled an almost complete index of photographers from this county from the 1850s until the First World War, and have profiles of well over a hundred of them, together with numerous examples of their work.  Most of the images have been contributed by visitors to the site, and I'm always looking for more to add to the collection.  As usual, I will include full acknowledgement of the source of this material.  Please contact me for further details.

Regards and best wishes,

Brett Payne

Hi Brett

Wonder if you could help me re details of photographer George Jones of Liverpool. He photographed Gearge Earl, (animal artist) around 1865 and I am trying to establish any connection between them
Many thanks

Hi Hunter , It seems alot of people have the same problem as me. Albums full of photographs of unknown people either distant relations or just random photographs we've picked up along the way.I set up a website specifically for photographs like these. Where they can be posted up onto the web along with all known details, in the hope that someone will visit the website and recognise a face!
If your interested in this idea then please get in touch with me
