Yerbury
& Stewart
|
|
1864 to 1866
Edward Reuben Yerbury
(1843–1933) was a portrait photographer. He attended London School of Photography, then came to Edinburgh and
became a partner in Yerbury & Stewart, photographers in 1865, based
at 3 [South] Hanover Street.
On
the front of their cartes de visite, they advertised:
|
Yerbury
& Stewart
from
the London School of Photography
3 So. Hanover Street, Edinburgh
|
|
|
From 1867
I found no listing for either
Yerbury & Stewart or
Yerbury in the Edinburgh Trade
Directories for 1867..
From 1868 onwards, the business
listed in the directories was Yerbury.
It was based at the corner of Hanover Street and Princes Street opposite the National
Galleries of Scotland, and remained there until 1912. |

Question |
|
Who was Mr Stewart?
I have not yet
discovered who Stewart of the
Yerbury & Stewart
partnership was. Was he, perhaps, related to Thomas Stewart who
died probably shortly before the
Yerbury & Stewart partnership was established?

Thank you to
Irene Sweeney Townsley for the following details:
|
Thomas Stewart
Thomas
Stewart's death certificate, dated 27 September 1863, describes him as a
photographic assistant who died from accidental poisoning. His usual
address was given as 6 Gardeners Crescent, Edinburgh.

Townsley's great, great, great aunt's husband was Thomas Stewart .]

Thank you to
Martin Yerbury who wrote:
|
Robert Stewart
Isn't
Edwin/Edward (1816 - 1861) YERBURY's sister, Mary Ann, supposed to have
married a George STEWART in London in 1829?
It
seems likely that they had a son, Robert STEWART, who was born in Chelsea in
1831 but whether this is the right family or not is another matter.
