Thanks you've saved me a job Michael - thanks a lot for these dates.
Deazley was certainly in Stowmarket in 1871 and appears as living in
Lime Tree Place, he also took photos of the aftermath of the guncotton
explosion in August that year. His portrait of James Woods of 1869 is in
the Stowmarket Portrait Gallery section. Milligan took over Bugg's
studio in Finborough, this building can be seen in some old photos.
Back to Arthur Bugg, his entry in the 81 and 91 censuses are as follows -

1881
Ipswich Street
Hannah FRANCIS U 58 F Stowmarket, Rel: Head
Occ: Dyer
Arthur BUGG U 27 M Stowmarket, Rel: Boarder
Occ: Photographer

1891
