Nottinghamshire / Re: George Hotel--George St
« on: Sunday 06 February 22 12:46 GMT (UK)  »
Hi MW-UK, George Lane was the proprietor of The George Hotel through the 1960's, and Catherine Liddall managed the Hotel. As far as I understand, Catherine married Bill Wine, a businessman, during that decade. I lost contact with Catherine some years ago, at which time she was in the Mapperley Park area. I would appreciate any information on her subsequent whereabouts,

Thanks Charlotte and Hollie -
If I can get round the technology - I'll post one of the photos of the Holden sisters of Austwick, nieces to the Fox photographer cousins. I understand that Ken from Bradford FHS has done some work on photographers in Bradford, and there's a copy of his monograph in Bradford Library. Going to have a look ...

The Lincolnshire Girls may well have come to Bradford in domestic service, in the influx of people from rural areas finding work in what then, was a marvellous, rich, thriving Industrial City.

Lincolnshire / Lincolnshire wives for Bradford Photographers 1870's - 1880's

I have an ancestral pair of cousins Alfred E. and Christopher Fox in business in Bradford from about 1879 as Photographers. Both married women from Lincolnshire. In the case of Alfred E. both his first and second wives came from South Lincolnshire. I can't make the Lincs connection. I would also be interested in any information on their firm A.E. & C Fox, Photographers.

The Fox cousins wives were Rosa Blanche Lacey, from Boston, Lincs who married Alfred E. in Mar 1879 in Bradford; Mary Ann Wright, from Langrick, Lincs who was Alfred's second marriage in Dec 1883, in Bradford; Sophia Pickering from Butterwick, Lincs married Christopher Fox in Boston in Dec 1883.

The Lincolnshire link here intrigues me - anyone have anything on these family lines please?
