Exley of Great Horton, also of Shipley. > > Can anyone help me date these please? > > Many thanks, > Sue < Try searching the website of online directories run by Leicester University at:- http://www.historicaldirectories.org/ This shows that JAMES EXLEY, photographer, did not appear in a Bradford directory for 1870, but he appears in the Post Office Directory for Bradford 1879-80 at 87 Kingswood Street, Great Horton. Although those are the only two directories covered for that period, we can probably assume he started his business some time in the 1870s. In the Bradford Post Office Directory 1883 he was at 100 Beldon Rd, Great Horton. In the PO Directory for 1891 there suddenly appears a JOHN WILLIAM EXLEY, photographer, at 58 Thompson Street, Shipley, who was very likely James's son. James himself in 1891 had his premises at 294 Southfield Lane, Great Horton. If your photo shows the photographer as J Exley of Great Horton and Shipley, it could presumably have been taken by either of them. However, since John William Exley does not appear in a directory until 1891, the likelihood seems the photo was probably taken sometime around that date or after. In fact, consulting the 1881 census for Bradford reveals that John William Exley WAS James's son and in 1881 he was only 12 years old. Thus, it seems a date of post-1890 seems about right. According to FreeBMD, John William Exley married at Bradford in the March quarter of 1890, so he very likely set up in business for himself then. However, possibly he and his father operated the business jointly from both addresses. If you enter James Exley+photographer+Bradford into Google you will find some of his cartes de visites from when he was at Southfield Lane. If you want to date the photos more precisely, there are quite a few photographic and fashion historians around who can do this from the clothes and background etc. The family history magazines do this sort of feature regularly. The one I write for, Practical Family History, has a woman who is expert in this sort of thing. -- Roy Stockdill Guild of One-Name Studies: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

However, newcomers may not be so familiar with it, so I thought I would bring it to your attention. It is very valuable for tracing ancestors who may have been prominent citizens in their particular town or village or especially tradesmen, businessmen and such like. Of course, many female traders appeared in the pages of these directories as well. You can search by location, decade or keywords and you will find a number of social, court and trade directories for Bradford from the 1850s through to 1912. If you find an ancestor in a directory you will then have an address, which then helps you with further searches in the censuses. I have it as one of my top "favourites" sites and use it constantly. -- Roy Stockdill Guild of One-Name Studies: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
