My Great Grandfather Frank was born in Hackney in 1844. Frank got married to Caroline Elizabeth. I need to find her maiden name and any other details about the family would be great. He was a photographer and moved to Ealing and opened the Wakefield Photographic Studio in 1902.

Thank you so much for this information. It is amazing to find all this history. I married a girl from Plymouth, my Great-grandfather married a girl from Plymouth and on my mothers side they came from Plymouth ??

Don't know if you've googled Frank's name, but here is a site that has a couple of his photos on.

Hi Alviegal, yes I have seen these before. I joined the Ealing History group and they have been very helpful and posted many photographs for me. Thanks for your post.
