"Hi, Michelle
I've written a biography of Herbert Ponting, who was active in still photography until c.1920, but suddenly restarted in the late 1920s/early 1930s, including with a portrait photograph using Vivex technology (Ponting was old…"

"Result! Having posted below, I had a final Google with just "O. Nitzsche" rather than 'Oscar' and there's a book (pub.2007) about the National Museum of Namibia (ex-German colony) which Googlebooks shows as having several…"
"The 1921 census has just been published on the Find My Past website - it might provide some information on May Bone for that year (she's probably also in the 1911 census). The 1921 is quite a good system in that you pay per item and you can get…"
"My pleasure, hope your project goes well ... I didn't realise you were in Texas, but hopefully the archives people will be helpful!"
"I was about to ask the same question as Robert - also happy to pay postage."
"I hope you do manage to develop your research, Matthew, it sounds both interesting and worthwhile - and Bernard's daughter may also be interested."
"That's great that she's Little Titch! Do let me know when your book is out! All the best with your project, Anne"
"How interesting. If you look at the interview link I sent Ismay, Bernard's daughter Miriam refers to his left-wing politics and the fact that her mother worked full-time so that he could continue his photography; I noticed that the publications…"
"I did a little more research on Ancestry and found Cyril M. Bernard's children (I'll send you a link so you can see the details).
His daughter Miriam (who is the elder child) uses her maiden name for work, is here, with an e-mail address…"
"Arthur S. Newman, the camera designer, was involved in the establishment of photography courses at the Polytechnic. The University of Westminster have extensive archives, including about the Polytechnic (of which they still use several buildings,…"
"Not sure, but I think if you print out what I've sent you and then go into the GRO page you'll have enough to order from the total of those details. Good luck! Anne"
"I've just found a reference to him, without the M., in a Staffordshire paper, so that confirms he's the one from Staffordshire I think, as it's his opinion on a photographic/art exhibition. "
"Glad some of it was useful - although that's odd about the lack of registered will and/or the other person. I did check 1998 too on the wills page in case he had slipped over to that due to being cremated the next year. I think I might start…"
"With advance apologies for what of the following is coals to Newcastle, there's a Cyril M. Bernard who died in Staffordshire in 1997, whose death appears on Ancestry.co.uk. Here's the information given, which should let you apply for a…"
"Hi, Lissa, yes I did, but I'd need an e-mail address from you to transfer copies to you as they're just for specific study use so I'd put them on WeTransfer. If you don't want to make your e-mail address public, you can message…"

"In the early days of WWI, lots of people took their own cameras with them and stereoview attachments/lenses were quite common too. From what I know, lots of people took photographs to send home to family and friends back home, but this was largely…"
