Edward
Montague Treble
was born at Hastings, Sussex in about 1869, the youngest son of
Frederick
Treble (b. c1830 Middlesex), an artist and photographer, who during his
career operated photographic studios in Nottingham, Yeovil, Salisbury,
Hastings, London, Brighton and Norwich. Edward became a
photographer
at a fairly young age and was working as that at 27a Cripley Road, St
Thomas,
Oxfordshire in April 1891. He married Kate French (born c.
1878
at
Tunbridge Wells, Kent) at Tunbridge in Kent in 1896, and moved to
Yardley,
Worcestershire, where he was working as a photographer's manager in
April
1901.
According to Craven (1993), E.M. Treble bought Dereské's studio in around 1912. However, the addresses given for their respective premises are slightly different - Dereské was at 36 East Street, while Treble's studio is shown as being at number 39. Trade Directory entries show that Treble operated until at least 1926-27. Edward's older
brother
Charles Frederick Treble (born in 1857 at Coventry) also became a
photographer,
with several studios in London, Norwich and Great Yarmouth, as shown in
the examples below. |
