Surrey Photographers COMPLETED
« on: Monday 18 December 06 16:41 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone have a book on the subject (Surrey Photographers) ?
I'm particularly interested in CROYDON ones, especially a Mr & Mrs Ward, West Croydon, est. 1851.  I would like to know when they stopped trading.
Edward AYLING , 172 Handcroft Road, Croydon.  Would like to know his trading dates.
I've searched the web but with no luck also Historical Directories with limited success.  The information is going to help with dating photographs,

Jane

Have you tried Croydon Local Studies Library as to whether they have any info?  http://www.croydononline.org/history/places/lslibrary.asp - there's an e-mail address on that page.

or

Croydon Natural History & Scientific Society - http://www.greig51.freeserve.co.uk/cnhss/directry.htm - they have produced a number of historic photos books, so may be very well tuned in to this kind of thing.

Hi Jane  :)

I have just come across this website, not sure how good the info is but it looks promising, and I thought it might help you  :D

Thanks Prue,
Yes, I had seen that site & it's excellent for dating photographs but only has a bibliography for Surrey photographers.  I was hoping for some instant on-line information as I'm not in the UK  :(

Thanks again,

jane

 ;)  Ahhhh, that's a GOOD one, thanks Colin.  Although it didn't have WARD or AYLING in Croydon, it's gone straight into my favourites  ;)
You're going to make a fantastic Rootschatter Colin  8)

Hi Jane  :)

Could this be Mr Ward, in the 1878 Post Office directory of Surrey?

Ward, Henry.   Photographic Artist.  Station Rd, Croydon and 54 Brixton Rd, SW.

Have you looked at the census yet, to see if you can spot them?
