Have old photos without names or dates by this photographer. Wish to establish a date range. Anyone out there with old photos by same photographer or with this person in their tree?

Date range may be 1865 to 1906. Want to narrow those dates down if I can.

Have you looked in the respective City Directories for Fort Wiliam and Port Arthur for entries for this man and the other photographers whom you are researching? The directories and the phone books would have listings for these photographers as long as they were in business. If you cannot look these up yourself, perhaps a volunteer listed with Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness would be able to do so for you.

Donna; I have a photograph that was taken in Fort William or Port Arthur in 1901 that says J.F.Cooke on it. George

Hi Donna,
Just came across your message. Did you ever get any answers on the photographers? I too have unnamed photos taken by J.F.Cooke, W.J. Barrie and S. Stevens.

I place them in the late 1800's. Did you get specific dates?

I have W.J. Barrie in my family tree. He lived in the Peterborough area at one time (I think at least 1830-1877), but later moved around to several other places in Ontario, including Port Arthur. His first wife, Martha Jane Green, died in 1877. In about 1883 he married Anne J. Harvey there, but he died about a year later. If there are any Barries or Greens in the photos I would be interested to see them. I have the names of his children and 13 grandchildren, but would like to get more descendants if anyone has information.
