Hi Nyx
Yes I’ve contacted the Bath Records and Archive office and also Bath Photographic Society as you suggested searching locally for the photographers studio. I haven’t heard back from either of them.

It is just articles or photos I hoped to find. That’s why I put a separate post.

I found one which was an advert for sable in a society magazine on ( I think) ancestry.co.uk but I couldn’t obtain it because my subscription was the basic one and when I tried to find it again I couldn’t. I don’t know if it was Florence but it was worth a try but I can’t find it. I thought maybe someone else would find something on another website or something

Thank you all
Glyn

Just so no helpers duplicate info Glyn,

all info on family on this thread ( incl 1911)

https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1370685

So it is just photographers in Bath needed, or ref in newspapers ( I've already gone through news archives on FMP but do look again in case I missed it :-) )

Glyn might be worth looking for local archives in Bath, for papers or magazines that are not online?

You could try contacting http://www.bathphotographicsociety.org.uk/our-history.html

I’m trying to find references and articles to a photographers model FLORENCE RUTH GERRISH who lived in Bath and modelled from about 1910-1914. Can Anyone with access to newspapers or magazines help please?
