I've recently found several unlabelled photographs that were from my grandparents early days. Some were taken by a Charles Winterbourne of Swanswell Terrace and others by Taylors in Primrose Hill Coventry. Can anyone tell me anything about these photographers such as when they were in business? I've also got some of soldiers in uniform. Is there anything I can do to try and identify them? |

Charles Winterbourne was born in Lewes, East Sussex in 1873. In 1901 he is living in Aston Manor in Birmingham. He is on the 1911 census in Coventry as a photographer. I have found him in directories on Ancestry from 1916 to at least 1940 at 44 Swanswell Terrace so this should give you some idea of when he was in business. |
