I've "rescued" an old photograph of James CHEETHAM of Brooklyn, New York which was taken at the Wm. F. Hunter Studio in Brooklyn. The photograph is dated March 18, 1889 with James likely in his 60's at the time. Based on limited research and thanks to a CHEETHAM Family Researcher I've gathered the following information regarding James and his family: James CHEETHAM was born about 1822, the son of Aaron Alfred CHEETHAM (b. 30 Sept 1792 in Newton, England) and Charlotte BENNETT (b. 16 Mar 1788 in Newton, England). James was one of 5 children born to this couple including, John Bennett; George; Elizabeth "Libbie"; and Thomas CHEETHAM, all born between 1819 and 1828 in NY. James was a printer and a book trader, living in Brooklyn, NY. James married Virginia CAMMEYER (b. 1826 dau of William H. or John E. CAMMEYER) in Brooklyn, NY on 23 Sept 1863. The couple had one daughter, Charlotte Elizabeth CHEETHAM b. 24 Jun 1864. Virginia died in 1866 during a typhoid epidemic on 17 Oct at the age of 38. James married a second time to Ellen CAMMEYER in the late 1870's, that marriage may have ended in divorce. James died 17 Aug 1896 in New York City during a heat wave that killed hundreds. Both James and his first wife Virginia are buried in the Greenwood Cemetery. Daughter Charlotte "Lottie" never married and died of TB in Long Island, NY in 1926. Census records provide the following information: 1880 census of Brooklyn, NY: James CHEETHAM, age 59, born NY, a Printer, parents born England Nellie A. CHEETHAM, wife, age 33, born NY, Keeps House, parents born NY/PA John MOWBRAY, step-son, age 10, born NY, at School, parents born MA/NY + 9 boarders + 1 Servant I am hoping to locate someone from this CHEETHAM Family so that the photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
