Louis Saul Langfier

Family Tree

Below are the parts of the family tree that I have been able to piece together so far.

Louis Saul Langfier and Adolph Langfier were brothers.  Louis Saul married twice.  His son from his first marriage was also named Adolph.

 

 
       
       

Louis Saul Langfier (1st marriage) = Ellen

NOTE:  Since compiling this family tree, I have been told by Joan Hall (nee Ireland) that this marriage was NOT between Louis Saul Langfier and Ellen, BUT between a different photographer, Louis Langfier and Ellen Ireland.  ***

***  Marcel Safier added:

"I agree with the note at the top of this family tree.  Photographer Louis Langfier was born c. 1861 in Russia. He married Ellen Ireland and had a son Adolph.  He is listed as:

-  a traveller in Cathcart, Renfrewshire, in the 1891 Scottish census

-  a photographer, Hornsey, Middlesex in the 1901 census

His son, Adolph, was only 13 in 1901, so the one with the London studio would definitely be the brother of Louis Saul Langfier.   He died 1916

LANGFIER  Louis of 16 Brooke-street, Bond-street, Middlesex died 10 April 1916 at Northumberland House, Green Lanes, Finsbury Park.  Probate London 2 May to Ellen Langfier widow.  Effects £1,178 4s 11d.

The other photographer Louis Saul Langfier was born c.1869 in Poland and married Pearl Lichtheim in 1903 and he had a brother Adolph as you state. He also worked in South Africa but I don't know when."

Langfier Family

Later Generations

It's always good to hear from members of the families of early Edinburgh photographers.

Doreen (Langfier) Brady, lower left on the family tree above, now lives in Leonardo, New Jersey, USA. 

Doreen tells me:

"Recently, my 14-year old grandson was taking a photography class at his high school, and the class looked at the the EdinPhoto web site and his  great-great-grandfather's name came up, along with other well- known Edinburgh photographers.

Doreen has three children:

-  John Eric Kienemund

 -  Doreen M. Brady

-  Caryn E. French

She has six grandchildren:

-  John Brady

-  Christopher M. French

-  Matthew J. French

-  Michael E. Kienemund

-  Ryan P. Kienemund

-  Samantha I. Kienemund

All of the children and grandchildren reside in the New York/New Jersey area.
