Art Dealer in 18th Century London
« on: Friday 01 January 10 15:00 GMT (UK) »
I am looking into my distant late relative Samuel Woodburn, who was
a successful Art Dealer with galleries like the National Portrait Gallery
(NPG), Royal Academy of Arts, FitzWilliam Museum.

But I'm not sure where to properly look because I don't have any
written info about him.

I do know that he married Hannah nee Samuel.
His DoB 7 March 1783 DoD 1853

Thanks 8)

I am researching the Franklin, Samuel's, Jessel's. Waleys and Sassoon's among other many branches of my family.
I am also related to the bio-scientist Rosalind Franklin, who discovered the Single DNA Helix structure in 1953. But one of my main regrets in my life is that I never met this talented lady, who died at the young age of 37 in 1958 !!

Hello Rosalind

Is it Samuel's professional career you are trying to find out about, or his personal life (or both)?  Was he the Samuel Woodburn baptised in Westminster 7 May 1783, son of John and Frances? (the 7 March date of birth tallies with your information).

NB the marriage to Hannah SAMUEL seems to have been late in Samuel WOODBURN's life (Dec qtr 1847 Liverpool 20 383).  Was this his first marriage, in his 60s?  Have you traced Samuel & Hannah in the 1851 census, and did the marriage produce children?

Hi avm228

I am looking more into his professional life but I've not found out
yet who his parents were.

I have used the national archives site, googled and Oxford DNB
as well as ancestry.co.uk

Thanks

Stan yes I had seen the website you have found because the NPG
was the first gallery I'd thought of.
