16978???

What was the year? A good idea to read your post after posting to correct any typos.

Francis Frith (also spelled Frances Frith) (31 October 1822 – 25 February 1898) was an English photographer of the Middle East and many towns in the United Kingdom.

Frith was born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, attending Quaker schools at Ackworth and Quaker Camp Hill in Birmingham (ca. 1828–1838), before he started in the cutlery business. Leaving in 1850 to start a photographic studio in Liverpool, known as Frith & Hayward. A successful grocer, and later, printer, Frith fostered an interest in photography, becoming a founding member of the Liverpool Photographic Society in 1853.[1] Frith sold his companies in 1855 in order to dedicate himself entirely to photography. He journeyed to the Middle East on three occasions, the first of which was a trip to Egypt in 1856 with very large cameras (16" x 20"). He used the collodion process, a major technical achievement in hot and dusty conditions.

Francis Frith & Co. and marriageWhen he had finished his travels in the Middle East in 1859, he opened the firm of Francis Frith & Co.[2] in Reigate, Surrey, as the world's first specialist photographic publisher. In 1860, he married Mary Ann Rosling (sister of Alfred Rosling, the first treasurer of the Photographic Society) and embarked upon a colossal project—to photograph every town and village in the United Kingdom; in particular, notable historical or interesting sights. Initially he took the photographs himself, but as success came, he hired people to help him and set about establishing his postcard company, a firm that became one of the largest photographic studios in the world. Within a few years, over two thousand shops throughout the United Kingdom were selling his postcards.

I can't make out what the query means!
Jan

me neither!!! what is that number?

I see Mark has changed the number to 1698 without any comment or apology.

It was a typo, i appologise i typed the date to quickly

You could have, at least, looked at it after posting.

The photographer Francis Frith wasn't born until 1822 so the thing to do is trace his family back to see if he links to your Francis Frith.

Will delete all messages - dont worry

Why?

I made a genuine mistake - i appologised

If we all dleted our posts because we made a mistake the boards would be empty.

Next time just look at your message after posting or stick around for a short while to answer questions.

What 'link' are you trying to prove?
