photographs.
> > They are mainly portraits & are all of playing size.
> > They only clue to the family is a small Christmas greeting card at the
> front
> > of the album. Handwritten on the back of this card are the words "Edwin
> from
> > Rosie". The card was copyrighted by Raphael Tuck & Sons.
> > The Photographers on the photos are as follows.
> > FINLAYSON. 62 Piccadilly, West London. (Has No 3810 on the back).
> > MOSS & Co. 637 George St South, Sydney Australia.
> > LOMER'S. 805 George St, Sydney Australia.
> > J W FRY. High St, Penrith (Initials written on back look like LJJ.)
> > Nicholas - Artist - Camden.
> > C PICKERING. 612 George St, Sydney Australia.
> > BEAVIS Bros & Co. Royal Studio Bathurst Australia.
> > BURMANS. 209 Bourke St, Melbourne Australia.

> that

> > It also appears that George St in Sydney was a home for photographers.
> > Most of the photos have a note on the back saying, "Copies can be had by
> > sending the Name". Unfortunately no name.
> > I am sending this e-mail to the following groups. Manchester &
Lancashire,
> > Lancsgen & Northern England & I would ask any members to forward to any
> > other groups they are subscribed to, especially in the London & Sydney
> > areas. I am going to write to the local paper here to see if the person
> who
> > handed the album in to the charity shop will come forward & shed some
> light
> > on this family. Also can any members who live in the London, Sydney or
> > Melbourne areas shed any information on the above photographers.
> > As I know the sentimental value of these photos to family historians, it
> is
> > my endeavour to return them to their rightful home. I know it is going
to
> be
> > an almost impossible task & if it fails, they will be donated to one of
> the
> > family history societies.
> > REMEMBER- Your help is my requirement.
