Lulworth Cove, Mervyn O'GORMAN photos?

[Regorian]

On another website, the garden pond stonework is described as modern, not early 20th Century. I don't understand the technicalities, but another small doubt perhaps.

Thanks KLass,you obviously have got into this in great depth.
Believe though that Mervyns marriage to Florence could still be San Remo New York.
The image gives no countries, being written in longhand,c1893,they are all British Consular marriages,
includes at least one in S.America,so not confined to Europe.
Does anyone have sight of the certificate to confirm this either way.
As regards the Mervyn John birth,still could be a connection.Born in close area,etc,just surmising.

Yep, agree with all of that ! I've applied for the marriage certificate, fingers crossed it answers questions and doesn't simply raise more !

Just had confirmation from St Edmund's College in Hertfordshire that Mervyn attended there starting in June 1881 and was there till at least Aug 1884.  Just a tidbit to throw out there....

Best news from today, I have an appointment to veiw his images held in the Royal Photographic Society Collection, which includes all the 'Christina' images plus some unpublished ones of a 'Sylvia Miles' which are b&w and also credited with being taken in 1913 .. has anyone come across that name in their research ?? Sorry don't know how old she is or where the images were taken...but going to be fascinating to see them

There are very few births for Sylvia Miles:

Births December quarter 1892  Sylvia Izzeta  Miles  Chorlton     Dies 1895
Births September quarter  1901 Sylvia Minnie Miles    Chorlton    Dies 1901
Births June quarter  1902  Sylvia Annette Miles     Marylebone   Dies 1905
Births September quarter 1907  Sylvia Alice M Miles           Chipping N.   
Births September quarter  1909  Sylvia Forde Miles        Barnstaple   
Births September quarter 1910  Sylvia M Miles     Leeds   Dies 1910

So, interested to see how old she looks in 1913.

So, so sorry Chempat......my mistake it was SYBIL Miles

And just to confirm I've got it right this time, this is the message

There are b/w photographs by O'Gorman in the RPS Collection of a woman called Sybil Miles, also taken in 1913.  It may be that Christina is related to her rather than to O'Gorman - daughter/niece perhaps?"

So sorry everyone

[chempat]

Even fewer births for Sybil, I would guess.

[chempat]

Births March quarter  1905  Sybil  Miles        Guildford   
Births June quarter  1905  Sybil May Miles     Southwell   
Births March quarter  1907  Sybil Miles      Pontypridd

Found this. Purports to be Christina and her mother, Mrs O'Gorman. 1910.

There was a Sybil Miles living in Kings Weston near Bristol around that time. She was the wife of Philip  Napier Miles, and was born Sybil Marguerite Gonse de Hochepied Larpent in Brighton in 1868. So she would have been a contemporary of Mervyn O'Gorman in Brighton during his childhood.

They are lovely aren't they ! but can't find any reference to them being by O'Gorman....can you remember the link to where they are credited to him ?
