W. J. seems to have been an habitual letter writer, and an entrant and winner in many shows.
I have likely had near 100 hits on a "W.J Byrnes" Including an article on his work in Wilson's Photographic Magaine, of April 1898, which I have extracted here:

Also
From a Belian Journal Here:

And well represented with images in the article on photographing children:
in Another Wilson's of Dec 1893

From Photo Beacon Apr 1893:
BYRNE & COMPANY, of Richmond,
London, are sending about one hundred
pictures, among them being portraits of
the Prince of Wales and family, and
other royal and distinguished person¬
ages. Many of the pictures are direct
life-size portraits.
