Hello All I am researching early photography in Australia and in particular the lives of Queensland's early photographers. As part of my research I trace the genealogy of the photographers. I am interested in hearing from the descendants of any of the following photographers that worked in Toowoomba. I already have substantial info on the asterisked names. If anyone has any daguerreotypes known to have been taken in Toowoomba I would be especially keen to hear from them. My Toowoomba website is located here: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~msafier/photos/toowoomba.html The names of photographers I have identified as having worked in Toowoomba between 1855 and 1920 are: Annie Bain James Bain William True Bennett F. W. Bernays Thomas Bowdich E. T. Brissenden Andrew Chandler* M. Cowie William John Deazeley* Trissie & Elsie Deazeley* James Elsbee Jack W. Fegan Otto Friedricks Robert McClelland* George Leake Massingham Matthews Thomas Mathewson* Metcalfe & Glaister* Thomas Mills Albert Henry Mouland* A. Morris Emil Müller Henry Muller Francis Perroux* Walter Eustace Perroux* J. R. Platt Walter Rodway W. R. Rogers Martin Roggenkamp* William T. Schaefer Henry Stephens George A. Tissington* William George Tutt H. Watts Frederick G. Wills Cheers!

Dear List, Could anyone help me find information about my great grandmother I believe she may have been mentioned in the Toowoomba Chronicle about 1875 till 1883 (when she married William Townson) I have been told that she won prizes as a champion whip cracker. This could have been in Toowoomba, or Whetstone/Inglewood (where she was born) Does the Tmba Chronicle have index to some of the early papers?. I am willing to exchange research for family history in Tasmania to anyone willing to do a search for Elizabeth Jane Shepherd.
