Name:  WALLIS, Harry   b: 1868 Salford Manchester     d:
Address: 47 Burleigh Street Cambridge
Working Dates: 1910-23
Subjects, styles, advertising, other relevant information: The 1911 census shows Harry living at his in-laws at 78 King Street Cambridge with his wife Annie E. b:1879 Cambridge and son Thomas Rowland Wallis b:1894 Plaistow. Harry was described as an "artist and photographer" and his son as an "assistant photographer". Before coming to Cambridge Harry appeared in the 1901 census as a photographer and an employer living at 183 Boleyn Rd, West Ham. The rest of his family, at that time, was his then wife, Janie, b.1868 Liverpool, daughter Elsie Cowen Wallis b.1891 Middlesborough and son Thomas Rowland Wallis b.1895 London. The 1921 census lists Harry and family living at 47 Burleigh Street, Cambridge, Harry was a photographer working on his own account from home. His son Thomas Rowland Wallis was an unemployed photographer, last employed by J.Lewis in Swansea. The Cabinet photograph below, from the author's collection, is on a dark green mount with silver lettering on the face "Day and Electric Light Studios, H Wallis, 47 Burleigh Street, Cambridge" The reverse is blank - hand-written thereon "George and Birdie, March or May" but sadly no year, c.1910. Below this is a portrait of an unknown young woman seated on an ornate chair. This is probably from around 1915 and is in postcard format, the reverse bearing the legend "H WALLIS, Art Photographer 47 Burleigh Street Cambridge". Below that is a second postcard format portrait of an unknown young man, the reverse of the card is similarly printed to the previous example and is of a similar age. The inclusion of a planter and flowers either side of the sitter are unusual additions to a portrait of a man. The quality of this portrait is also marred by something intruding in the lower right hand part of the image.

Postcard format portrait of unknown man by H.Wallis

Name: WALLIS, Llewellyn Walter. b. 1871 d 1929
Address: High Street Mildenhall Suffolk in 1900, St Andrews Street Mildenhall in 1901, Mill Street Mildenhall 1904-1921, Also at Ely, address and dates not currently known.
Working Dates: 1900-1921
Subjects, styles, advertising, other relevant information: Llewellyn was born in 1871 in Ely, the son of John Wallis, a successful horse dealer. Llewellyn's family was living at Cow Lane Ely at the time of the 1891 census, but Llewellyn was not listed there, and indeed, no trace has been found of him elsewhere in April 1891. Llewellyn was living in Mildenhall Suffolk by 1894 when he was one of the organisers of the Mildenhall Tennis Club Dinner (Bury and Norwich Post 9 October 1894 p7) and in 1895 when he took part in local ice skating races (Bury and Norwich Post 19 February 1895 p8) and amateur dramatics (Bury and Norwich Post 12 February 1895 p8). By 1900 Llewellyn was listed in local trade directories as a photographer in High Street, Mildenhall (Kelly's Directory of Suffolk in 1900). In the 1901 census Llewellyn, a single man, was a photographer at St Andrews Street, Mildenhall, assisted by his younger brother Alexander Wallis b 1882. He then appeared in Mill Street Mildenhall in Kelly's and other Directories 1904-1916. In 1911 Llewellyn, then a married man, was living and working at Mill Street, Mildenhall. With him were his wife Amelia and three young children. In 1921 he was at the same address, a photographer and frame maker, assisted by two of his children, William John Wallis 13 yrs and Reginald Albert Wallis 12yrs. The carte de visite below bears the details on the face of the grey card mount in gilt lettering, "L.W.Wallis, Ely and Mildenhall". The reverse is blank. The carte depicts a cameo of a smartly dressed young man with a floral buttonhole in his lapel, a waistcoat and stand-up winged shirt collar with light coloured cravat and cravat ring. (Ascot tie?). The photograph may have been from a wedding sequence or other formal occasion. It is difficult to date the clothing - it could have been worn for a formal occasion perhaps at any point between the 1890s and 1920s. It is not currently known when or where Llewellyn operated in Ely, or whether he maintained a full or part time presence at two locations 15 miles apart. In the 1911 Census, Llewellyn's brother, Alexander George Wallis, then 29, was living with his parents at Mill Lane Fordham, Cambridgeshire. His occupation was an assistant photographer. It is not known whether Alexander was still working for Llewellyn, Fordham being 10 miles from Ely and 6 miles from Mildenhall.

Address: Travelling photographers. Bargate Green, Boston, Lincs and attended local fairs, including Ramsey Hunts, Gainsborough and Leeds
Working Dates: 1862

The family comprised wife Mary Ann b. 1832 Leverington, Cambs, Sister Sarah b. 1844 Leverington and brother Robert b. 1843 Leverington. Frank's occupation was "Bazaar keeper" and the two younger family members waited at the bazaar. The Peterborough Advertiser 26 July 1862 reported from Ramsey Petty Sessions. Henry Wood, a lad of 16 was charged by his employer, Frank Walton, with stealing 2 photographs value 2s. The prosecutor was described as a photographer residing at Boston who was in the habit of attending fairs. Frank went to the Fair at Ramsey from where the defendant, his employee, took the photographs.Wood was convicted and sentenced to 1 month imprisonment with hard labour. In January 1865 Frank, described as a fruiterer and photographer of Bargate Green, was a witness in a case against three juvenile burglars. Below is an example carte de visite of an unknown young man leaning on a piece of furniture draped in an animal skin by Frank Walton, of the American Studio New Briggate, Leeds and Boston. The reverse of the mount caries a royal coat of arms.
References: Peterborough Advertiser 26 July 1862, Lincolnshire Chronicle 27 January 1865 p7. In the 1871 Census Frank Walton, confectioner and photographer, was recorded by a diligent enumerator in a booth in the High Street, at Grantham, Lincolnshire. With him were his wife Mary, son Robert b 1852 Wisbech, daughter Elizabeth b 1856 Wisbech and two male confectioner's porters and one male and one female general servants. In the 1881 Census Frank and his family were in a caravan at the corner of Harrison Street Leeds. He was described as a. "Artist (photo)". With him were his wife Mary, an assistant photographer Thomas PLATT b 1858 Wisbech, and a female general servant. By 1891 it would appear that Frank, then a widow, a photographer and an employer, had settled in Leeds, living at 51A New Briggate. Living with him were his mother, two visitors, a grandson and two domestic servants. In 1901 Frank was an Inn Keeper in Market Street Halifax. With him were his wife Mary, a grandson and a female servant. In 1911 Frank was again a photographer at 13 Crimbles Street, Leeds, where he was living with his wife and a visitor. 1921 saw him as a retired photographer at the same Leeds Address.

Name: WALTON, Samuel William b:1850 Wisbech
Address: Walton's Monumental Works, Leverington Road, Wisbech
Working Dates: c.1879. The business had been running since 1851 and by 1879 Samuel had taken it over from his parents.
Subjects, styles, advertising, other relevant information: Stoneworks producing plain and ornamental tombstones and headstones, iron railings etc. In 1879 their advertisements included: "SW begs to state that the business will be carried on as usual, orders taken for photographs of monuments, headstones etc carte or cabinet size. Work executed in town or country at reasonable prices." Victorian family albums often included photographs of headstones and other memorials to past family members, and such photographs could probably be obtained from most provincial studios. Walton's Monumental Works added this as another service to their main business as stonemasons. We do not know whether the photos ordered through this firm bear the firm's name or that of the photographer commissioned by them to do the work.

Working Dates: c. 1993
Subjects, styles, advertising, other relevant information: FS Webb exhibited the photograph below at the St Neots and District Camera Club Annual Exhibition in May 1933. The photograph (11.5 x 8in) is entitled Eaton Ford Old Windmill now a residential home. The reverse has the photographer's details in manuscript, in a mini label and has a St Neots and District Camera Club exhibition label. (This raises the point that occasionally former photo club presentation mounted prints can be found - and does each merit an entry here, or should they be separately recorded with other information on local camera clubs).

Name:  WEBSTER, Alfred  b:1883 Barnack   d:
Address: Bainton in 1901-1904, Barnack, near Peterborough 1905.
Working Dates: c. 1901 - 19 ?
Subjects, styles, advertising, other relevant information: Alfred Webster, son of Northamptonshire railway worker Ammon Webster, is shown in the 1901 census as a self employed photographer operating from home at Bainton. He is listed as a photographer at Barnack in Kelly's Directory of Northamptonshire 1906. In 1907 Alfred married Lily Perkins b:1884 Winwick Northants. When Lily's and Alfred's son, Leslie Hobart Webster, was christened at Barnack on 23 October 1910, Alfred's occupation was again shown as a photographer. The 1910 Kelly's Directory and the 1911 Census return both show that he had, by then, become a cycle agent at Barnack. Alfred took a number of topographical views around the Stamford area, which were printed and sold as real photo postcards. See below for a postcard of Bainton, near Peterborough (author's collection) on the reverse of which is printed; "A Webster photo Barnack copyright".Some of Alfred's photographs were lodged at Stationers' Hall for copyright purposes, now listed in the National Archives at Kew (TNA) . For example:
COPY 1/469/146 Photograph view of 'The Haycock', a street in Wansford. Copyright owner of work: Alfred Webster, Bainton, Stamford. Copyright author of work: Alfred Webster, Bainton, Stamford. Form completed: 15 January 1904,
COPY 1/469/147, another Wansford view of the Church and Bridge, Copyright owner of work: Alfred Webster, Bainton, Stamford. Copyright author of work: Alfred Webster, Bainton, Stamford. Form completed: 15 January 1904.
COPY 1/481/314 is a 'Photograph of Uffington House fire taken at 11 o'clock at night, December 19th 1904'.[the country seat of the Earl and Countess of Lindsey which was destroyed by fire December 1904] Copyright author of work: Alfred Webster, Barnack, Stamford. Form completed: 6 January 1905.
COPY 1/490/46 'Photograph of Deeping St James showing locks'. Copyright owner of work: Alfred Webster, Barnack, Stamford. Form completed: 4 October 1905.
The Peterborough Advertiser 22 July 1911 p2 has an article on a haunted rectory at Barnack, with "photos by Webster, Barnack, specially taken for this article".
The following are probably the work of Alfred Webster:
i) postcard of Maxey Church for sale on Ebay, - in red ink on the face of the card the publisher was shown as "The AW Series", which could have been by Webster.
ii) postcard view of a wooden horse drawn van for the Church Army - Hand written lower right "Webster Photo", noted for sale on Ebay - .

A photograph on the Peterborough Images Archive site www.peterboroughimages.co.uk/barnack-village-main-street/, dating from around 1911, shows two signs on Alfred's small shopfront in Main Street Barnack advertising "Post Cards" and "A.Webster Hobart". This suggests that after he had become a cycle agent he was still, to some extent, involved in photography. The name "Hobart" on Alfred's shop refers to the make of cycle and motor cycle which Alfred sold. Grace's Guide has an entry for Hobart machines here: www.gracesguide.co.uk/Hobart_Cycle_Co.

Alfred and his family emigrated to South Africa while Leslie was still an infant.

References: We are most grateful for further information from Glyn Price, whose late wife was Alfred Webster's grand-daughter. Glyn has provided the two photographs below of Alfred with two different Hobart motor cycles. Alfred loved these machines, which he not only sold, but rode and raced, and even gave their name to his son, Leslie Hobart Webster. The two machines in the photographs below have registration numbers from the Soke of Peterborough. The two machines appear to be based on a pedal cycle design with the addition of either a single cylinder or v twin engine. Alfred may have been initially attracted to the company by advertisements in the Stamford Mercury - Friday 03 July 1908 p8 "Agents wanted. Openings in every district: spare time, good remuneration, no outlay, no risk, particulars from Hobart Bird and Co Ltd Dept F16 Direct Cycle Manufacturers Coventry". The Stamford Mercury - Friday 02 June 1911 p4 reported that Mr A Webster of Barnack would be competing on a 2.5 hp Hobart in the motorcycle run from London to Edinburgh and back, promoted by the Motorcycling Club .

Name:  WEHRLE Miss Lucia Rosa   b: 1898  Cambridge     d:
Address: 29 Sidney Street, Cambridge 1911, Ratcliffe, 19 Storeys Way Cambridge 1921
Working Dates: 1920-25
Subjects, styles, advertising, other relevant information: Spaldings Directory of Cambridge lists beside her name “Private Appointments” The Wehrle family at 29 Sidney Street Cambridge in the 1911 census comprised Alfred Wehrle b:1855 Bishops Stortford, watch and clockmaker, jeweller, dealer, his wife Rosa b:1865 Baden, Germany, son Alfred A b:1891 Cambridge, an assistant in the business and daughter Lucia b:1898 Cambridge, so presumably Miss Wehrle in 1920-5 would have been Lucia Wehrle. The Cambridge Independent Press of 27/6/1913 noted the appointment of the Committee of the Cambridge Photographic Club for the year ahead were Messrs Coulson, Johnson, Ogle, Porcher, Tams, Scott, Wehrle and Winship. However, the Wehrle in question may have been A.A.Wehrle, Lucia's brother, who was reported to be a prize winner in one of the Club's competitions (CIP 14/11/1913). AA Wehrle died in 1918, a Sergeant in the Artists Rifles. The 1921 Census lists the Wehrle family, Alfred, a jeweller, his wife Rosa and daughter Lucia Rosa, together with a servant at Ratcliffe, Storeys Way Cambridge. Lucia Rosa Wehrle was a photographer working on her own account from home.
Below is an example of Lucia's work. This is a sensitive portrait of an unknown man, 6in x 4.5in on a cream mount 13in x 10in. The mount shows the photographer's name as "Wehrle" (although at first sight this looks more like "Irene") and the date; 1923. On the reverse of the mount is written "Ratcliffe, Storey's Way, Cambridge" in what appears to be the same writing as the photographer's signature on the face.
