There were quite a lot of photographs taken around London amongst the Lee sisters Cartes de Vista taken in Somerset. Can you help identify anyone?
Many of John William LEE’s aunts and uncles moved to London, as did his mother. Perhaps Eva and May’s paternal family are amongst these photographs, and even John’s mother.
Click on a name to shoot downwards and find out more about the photographer, see the portraits they took and read my thoughts on dates and who they may be (work in progress).
