Title: Arthur Leupold (photographer) - active Cork City 1930/1950s
Post by: mcmahongg on Sunday 13 March 22 23:59 GMT (UK)
Hi
I'm trying to find any information on photographer Arthur Leupold, active in Cork City from the 1930s to 1950s at least. In 1952 he had a studio in Patrick's Street.

He appears in Census 1911, aged 22, with birthplce given as Kirchberg, Germany.

I would like to find out anything on his background and his life after 1952.

thanks and regard

Gerry

Can't find a death for him on https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp up to 1971.

In the 1935 Guy's Cork City and County Directory, this was his entry:

Leupold , Arthur        Photographers        6a St Patrick's Street

A daughter Siglinda Mary born in 1913, to the marriage that ShaunJ has above.
