E. H. Dixon was a landscape painter. His/her subjects ranged from St Pancras Old Church up to Tufnell Park, Highgate and Hampstead, over the 1830s/1840s. There was then a gap before a flurry of painting in the Holborn area, as well as some reworking of earlier paintings, in 1867. On this basis I would guess a birth date around 1810 and a death around 1868. |

I might suggest this one? The birth year is way out, but it's possible he started young OR that the dates online for his work are out by a few years. Listed here as "Artist and professor of drawing" |

The picture of 'London's great dust heap' is recorded as 1837, so looking for him in 1841 |

Just a possible? if he was formerly an engineer, the marriage cert might eliminate or confirm |

This is most helpful to my search. He/she has paintings at the Wellcome Library, the British Museum, London Metropolitan Archives, Camden Local Studies and Archives and Islington Local History Centre. None of them has been able to help, nor has Camden History Society, an active local group. |

It doesn't help a lot re Edward, but this is possibly the marriage of the parents, noting that Edward's daughter Catherine used middle name Spencer |

Well! That certainly shows one auction house appears to know the artist's full name. Another piece of an emerging jigsaw. Thanks for your forensics. I am most impressed. Now I need to start colouring the CV, to create a real character, whose paintings reflect not only his interests but also his personal situation. |

Just to keep info here, I looked again at the image for 1841/51 and pretty sure it says engraver not engineer . |
