WICKHAM 19th century, Bristol/Somerset.

I have photos (cartes de visit) of Emily Wickham 3rd daughter of John Eyre Wickham born 1861 dies 1934 (no place of birth on photo). Photo taken in London by Elliott & Fry 55 Baker Street, Portman Square. when she is a young girl.

Also John Eyre Wickham born 1818 died 1895. no place of birth photo taken by H Horler, 67 Stoke Croft Bristol.

Also A M Dering or Dening (surname badly written) Once curate of St Georges Brandon Hill photo taken by Villiers and Quick 42 Park st Bristol
The writing on the back is not the same as the above two.

Also Ethel Marsdon, no other information writing could be the same as the first two. Photo taken by Abel Lewis Clifton (assume Bristol).

If anyone is a descendant of the above they are welcome to the photos.

There's four trees on Ancestry with him in also

On Emily's baptism they are living at 76 Margaret St, and John is an accountant.

also the baptisms of her sisters Jane Harriet and Catherine .

All we need now is somebody to own them. But interesting to put 'flesh' on him from this little photo. A rather austere gentleman, quite slim,beard and facial hair to his ears, no moustache and fairly short hair to the top of his ears. wearing a suit with waistcoat and watch chain. I think some sort of neck tie but it is hidden under his beard. Suit trousers seem a bit shiny.

Emily's photo is quite faded, long blondish hair about twelve or thirteen in the photo I guess, only head and shoulders clear.

Just spotted your remark re ancestry Rose. I will have to put a message up on there to see if anyone want the photos.

Left a message on there now.
