Liverpool photographers 19 cent - dates??

Hi Cedas,

I agree with Rowley on the date for the first picture of the two girls.

The second photo of the group would definitely date from the 1860s - probably late 60s.

Cheers

well apparently the photographer didn't start on his own account till 1867 but if it were late 60s that would fit in with who I think they are.  The older woman had died by 1871 census.

Thanks for your help

Hi there I'm currently researching Charles Cockbain. He was born in 1837 and died in 1888 so your pictures will be no later than that. His son Thomas Price Cockbain was also a photographer. Charles would have gone into business out of 16-18 Duke Street where his father had a Drapery business around about 1862. His last address before passing away was Islington, Liverpool.

Interesting. Thank you
