Edmund Huther Photographer help please
« on: Thursday 15 September 11 11:37 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find any info on my ancester Edmund Huther. Apparently he had a photo studio in Foyle Street and also 18 Carlisle Road LondonDerry. I think his wife was Mary Clark who is shown as a widow in Glasgow 1901.
This is an example of his work I found, any help appreciated
Regards
Pat

Might be worth searching through online directories for Londonderry to see range of dates when he's listed.
See reply #4 on this topic for links-
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,442194.0.html

Seems he died in 1877- "Letters of Administration of the personal estate of Edmund Huther late of the City and County of Londonderry Photographer deceased who died 14 January 1877 at same place were granted at Londonderry to Mary Huther of Londonderry aforesaid the Widow of said deceased." See www.proni.gov.uk (no will unfortunately)
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

2. Catherine 12 July 1869

4. Edmond Hoye 26 May 1873

Click on the link to PRONI website. No Will and administration paperwork for this period does not survive so the above record is all there is (entry on PRONI site does list size of estate).
