Hi Christopher, The Kelly's 1903 Directoy of Kent, has Mrs Susanna ELCOMBE, confectioner, at 168 High Street, Tonbridge; also, ELCOMBE Brothers, Boot & Shoe Makers, 179 High St, Tonbridge. The Kelly's 1913 Directory of Kent, Surrey and Sussex has no ELCOMBE listings. The Kelly's 1914 Directory of Tonbridge Wells, Southborough & Tonbridge, has a listng for Mrs ELCOMBE living at 16 Uridge Road Tonbridge (Noth side, from 64 Shipbourne Road). Maureen Rawson' website has a photograph "166 High Street, Tonbridge" which you may be interested in - http://www.footstepsphotos.co.uk/Kent/kenp20.htm Free BMD has a marriage for Ernest Absalom ELCOMBE to Bertha BROWN, June 1896, Tunbridge 2a 1263. On the 1901 Census, Ernest A. ELCOMBE, aged 30, born Sevenoaks, is a Bootmerchant in Tonbridge; Bertha is 28. Just putting ELCOMBE and Tonbridge in the index gives none of them with the occupation of photographer. I couldn't locate him on the 1911 Census; Bertha ELCOMBE is aged 36, living in Tonbridge. Oh, okay, here he is - FreeBMD has a death for Ernest A. ELCOMBE, aged 43, died March qtr 1910 Marylebone 1a 359.
