[The House of Cockbain of That Ilk]

Earlier this year, I was sent copies of four photos taken by H. Atkinson of Cockermouth. He is not found in any directory of Cumberland, or any census, and I believe he was most likely Henry Dixon Atkinson, but I can't track his movements between 1861 and his marriage in 1869. I know there is one photo in existence which was taken by H. Atkinson of Waterloo, which I assume was Liverpool.

Thanks Stephen
In 1861, Henry Dixon Atkinson is with his family in Liverpool. After that he appears in Cheshire, Wales, Surrey Wanstead and Leyton ?

Hi Bob,

I found him marrying in Everton in 1869 (given his dad's address). This site has examples for sale, by H, Henry and Henry D:

This is the only site that seems to mention "H" of Cockermouth. I can't find any Atkinsons online (whether H or HD). There was a Henry based in Camden Town in 1871, but the census info suggests he was in London at the time the Cockermouth photos were being taken.

Regards,

Stephen

Hi Stephen,
Great photos. Checked and he does not appear in the 1869 Crocker's directory for Cockermouth - no Atkinson was listed at all?
Will keep looking

I've found this example of HD's work on ebay. Link gives his address as 32 Church Street:
