Ambrose isn't listed in my book about Essex photographers. So can't help there, however the curator of the lovely Burnham on Crouch Museum almost certainly will be able to help if you email him on: histmus@aol.com Siggers: Until 1899, when the studio moved to larger premises, the renowned Colchester photographic business, the known as the Northlight Studio (studio in Isaac's Walk, shop front in Head Street) was owned by William Gill. In 1896 Gill had taken on a new manager, a Mr Siggers who I would think is your man or woman. Did Siggers take over the old premises and start up his own business in 1896?
