It is confusing:
My ancestor Edmund Huther was born January 15th 1841 in Dublin, Eire.
His parents were named Edward Frederick Huther and Mary Huther
Edmund opened a photographic studio in Foyle Street, Londonderry when he was about 21 years old and first advertised it in trade directories in 1865
A marriage record relates to an 'Edmond' Huther and states that he married Mary Clarke in Londonderry Roman Catholic Church on the 21st June 1866. It is thought that Mary was born about 1844 in Londonderry
Edmund and Mary had five children who were all born Londonderry. They were James Huther (3 April 1867), Catherine (Kate) Huther (12 July 1869), Edward Frederick Huther (9 June 1872), Edmond Hoye Huther (26 May 1873) and Mary Huther (1876).
Edmund appears to have next advertised his studio in 1878 and by that time he had moved it to the Derry Photographic Studio, 18 Carlisle Road, Londonderry
Edmund died on the 14th January 1877
After Edmund's death, Mary kept the business going for a couple of years in the same studio as she advertised from 1880 to 1882.
She also advertised a studio in Letterkenny, a town across the border in County Donegal in Eire.
However, by 1891 Mary was living with her family in Toxteth Park, Liverpool in England and her eldest son James, then aged 26, was shown as a photographer.
By the time of the 1901 census, Mary Huther, age 57, was living at 16 Brown Street, Glasgow with her son James who was working as a railway porter - obviously having given up his father's and mother's profession
So is this Mary Huther Edmund’s mother?
1861 Scotland Census Glasgow Mary Huther age 37 b Ireland Photographer with daughter Adda age 7
1881 England Census Mary Huther photographer, age 57 Cumberland, England with her husband Edward Huther, taylor
1891 England Census Mary Huther no occupation, age 68, widowed, Cumberland
1896 Mary Huther death Cumberland
As I know this Mary is Edmond’s wife/widow
1891 - Mary Huther age 48 at 11 Penrith Street, Toxteth Park, Liverpool with oldest son James (aged 26) shown as a photographer and 3 other children
1901 -Mary Huther age 57, at 16 Brown Street, Glasgow with her sons
Back where we started with Indianaries in 1871 in Cumberland b 1823 in Ireland a photographer with her daughter Mary Amelia Huther also a photographer.
So Indianaries b 1823 and Mary b 1824 both Ireland, both photographers must be sisters surely.
