| Henry Brice (c1831-1903)
of Exeter Henry Brice was born c. 1831 at Lyme Regis, Dorset, and married Harriet HAMES from Halberton, Devon. They initially lived at Bath, Somerset, where they had at least three children before moving to Exeter between 1858 and 1861.

BRICE b. c.1865 Exeter DEV According to Scott (1985), Henry Brice intially worked as a colourist for the photographer Owen Angel. However he was shown as a "photographer and portrait painter" at the time of the 1871 Census, and Brice gives the following addresses and dates for him: May
1861 : 4 Queen
Street
It
is not known,
however, how long he
continued in the photographic business, because earlier and subsequent
censuses
only show him as a portrait painter. His youngest son Alfred
became an artist too, describing himself as an "illustrator of periodicals"
in
April 1891.May 1863 : 27 Queen Street 1867 : 241 High Street Jul 1873 : 3 Lower Summerlands |
