Questions  - Founding Members

George H Slight when he looked back in 1866 on the founding of EPS referred to there being four founding Members. Who did he refer to?

Presumably one was J T Taylor, the first Secretary.  It was in a room behind his watchmaker’s shop that the inaugural meeting of EPS had been held on 20 February 1861.

 JT Taylor

JT Taylor was Joint Secretary, then Secretary, of EPS, 1861-63, and remained on the EPS Council for a further year.  Was this the same gentleman as:

J Trail Taylor, Treasurer and Secretary of Dumfries & Galloway Photographic Society for its brief existence in 1857?

- John T Taylor, Council Member of South London Photographic Society 1869-70
