UK Cabinet Cards & Carte de Visite

 

Cleer S. Alger Sr & Jr. took photos from their location on Mere Street in Diss from 1871 - 1904. I thought this could have been William with Margaret & Alice, but in 1861, Margaret would have been 7 so not possible. The simplicity of the logo makes me think its from the 1870s.

Cleer S. Alger in Diss from 1871-1904. This set holds the key to unlocking a few identities! Just need to pinpoint the dates the logo was used by the photographer.

Richard Hardey Doncaster Photographer. Took over the business of James Walker in 1868. In 1882 he sold the premises. The man looks a LOT like John Vince (1816-1894) which would make the woman Amelia Harvey but then the young girl unknown. 
 

Debenham & Gould Bournemouth. I Sussex Place Southampton & Glen View Studio Bournemouth. Circa 1898-1935

F. Treble & Co 182 King Street & Victoria Hall Norwich - 1879. Also listed as just Frederick Treble at Victoria Hall 1877

Tibbenham 32 Carr Street Ipswich

Reg ld. B Creak Victoria Rd. Diss - is this Frederick & NOT William? Is that Frederick's Mother & Father & Half sister?
My initial research puts this photographer here in 1900 and 1901 - so that doesn't add up. The simplicity of the card implies earlier. 

Mann & Adcock - 1883 Upper St. Giles St. Norwich. (White's History, Gazeteer & Directory of Norfolk.) This would make Anne 6, Walter 22, Alice 16. If that is Margaret - she would be 19. IF they were all shot at the same time But the unique back on the card of Walter & Margaret doesn't seem to match the time line. William, not shown, would have been 18 and possibly enlisted.

C. Banyard in a caravan in a meadow Victoria Road Diss 1881. Census Head 40 born east Dereham Norfolk. Charles. Also at Bridge St. Downham 1869. He traveled a lot so these are sometime between 

WL Shrubsole - 1888 at Davey Place & Victoria station. In 1883 just Davey Place. Source: Kelly's Directory of Cambs Norfolk & Suffolk. If Margaret "Peggy" Vince, she was between 24 to 26 years old.

David Hum & Co - at this location from 1879-1888. Walter would have been between 18 and 21.

Arthur J. Langton 309 & 307 Euston Road NW and at 35 Buckingham Palace Rd. Belgravia London. Between 1886 & 1909.

Billinghurst 51 St. Andrews Uxbridge other addresses 16 Royal Parade Jersey, Lower Bond Street Weymouth, 38 Clarence St. Kingston on Thames.  Likely 1891. If Margaret - she would have been 27 in this photo.

Gavin & Banger White Lion St. Norwich. at this location in 1888 and Giles St. between 1888 & 1892. William would have been between 23 & 27. Alice between 21 and 25.

D. Howie Gavin & Banger 85. S. Giles Street Norwich. D. Howie was here in 1890. Alice would have been 23 and William 25. Alice was married in 1894 - it could be Frederick if they had a long courtship perhaps?

If Alice was 21 in the photo above, and William 23 - the image below would be a natural progression in appearance for William.

R & E Sands Oppostite the Tower of London and at Port Adelaide South Australia. Circa 1880. The location was demolished 1885.

No photograher info.

Scott Wilkinson 47 St. Andrews Street Cambridge, Circa 1900-1904

W Shury Marshall London 34 Parliament St. Circa 1877-1879

Grouped because of the red card stock. The three ladies on chairs appear to have been photographed the same day, likely all related.

A & G Taylor

W.S. Spanton 16 abbey gate street bury street edmunds - Circa 1869-1901

P. Philippe 31 High Holborn London. Circa 1887-1893

HR Sherborn High Street Newmarket. Estimate between 1881-1892

Chancellor Dublin - 55 Lower Sackville Street. John Chancellor was here from at least 1862. The studio name changed in 1898 to Chancellor & Son. Estimate 1862-1898. This looks a lot like William, I suspect as he would have in the 1880s - could he have gone to military training in Dublin or been posted there for some reason. Need to brush up on my history.

W.J. Stuart 47 & 49 Brompton Road London SW. William John Stuart. circa 1893-1911

Broughton & Sons. London Rd. Lowestoft & Thetford

Most likely TinType. Guessing this is William Vince around 1890. Wedding or prior to going to war? He married Elizabeth Thomas in 1892. Boxer Rebellion 1899-1901, second Boer War 1899-1902.

John White 18 Brook Street Ipswich. Estimate 1892

Nesbitt & Co 50 High Road Kilburn NW 1888-1901. George Nesbitt opened a studio at 50 High Road in 1888 and formed the firm Nesbitt & Co in 1889.

Anthony Beales & Co County Studio George Row Northampton. Patronized by Royalty. Found Ad for the studio 1892 Northamptonshire Notes & Queries on Google Books.

Searle Bros. 191 Brompton Road London SW. The Searle Brothers were Charles & Archibald Stuart.  Studio was there around 1881-1930.
