Any ideas where I can look please.
When a photographer shuts up shop would there be any way of finding out what happened to his stock/negatives etc. I have a photo of my great grandmother with 3 children (presumably my grandmother and her sisters). The photo has the name A Russell and 1 Orsett Rd (presumably Grays). The UK City and County Directories of 1917 and 1922 have an entry in Grays for Alfred Russell, Photographer and Pianoforte dealer. I would love to be able to confirm that this photo is definitely who I think it might be. My grandmother's family came from Wanstead so Grays is not too far away.
Kind regards
Bev
