Does any one know anything about the photographer Henry Brooks of Abingdon. He was my great grandfather. Any information gratefully received, thank you.
Hi there,
Henry Brooks, photographer, of Abingdon, Berkshire, was at his High Street studio from at least 1869 to at least 1877 (according to the trade directories from those years). There was no entry for him in the 1887 trade directory for Berkshire. Hope this is of some help to you.

I am very interested in Henry Brooks the photographer. If I am right he was also a Portrait Artist. Do you know anything about this side of his work? He was living on Canvey Island in his latter years and as the editor of our archive site I am anxious to find out more about him.
A most informative site and a great resource.
I have a couple of cabinet cards by a photographer called Boesinger from Wellington. There are a number of Wellington’s in the UK and I have searched related sites with no success, can you help?
I’m in New Zealand, and there is a Wellington here, but there is no Boesinger listed.
Barry,
I’ve looked at as many sites as I can think of but Mr Boesinger remains elusive. However, if any of his work should happen my way, I will be pleased to contact you again. It’s so frustrating, isn’t it, when that morsel of information remains hidden away.
Thank you.
I have an old family photograph taken by Byrne and Co, Richmond, Surrey. It has a re-order number 41090a and I was wondering if there was any way to identify the young lady in the picture (reading a book). It looks like approximately 1880 by the dress style. Do the photographers records still exist since he seems to have been a “by appointment” or equivalent photographer.
Many thanks
