| George Henry
Eustace was born c. 1865 at Caversham, near Reading in
Berkshire, son
of a railway agent's manager George James Eustace (1833-) and his wife
Mary.
It seems unlikely that George Henry was related to the family of
photographers William Harrington
Eustace (-1867), his wife Mary
Ann Eustace
(c1818-1884) and their son Alfred
John Eustace, who had premises in
Reading - first 106 London Street, later at 98 Oxford Street - from at
least 1861until 1901. George H. Eustace married Jeanette Augusta
Darling
(born
at Church Gresley, Derbyshire c. 1864) at Bedminster in early 1891, and
they initially lived in Milford, near Salisbury, where George Henry
worked as a bank clerk. They had twin daughters a year later,
before moving to Leeds (Yorkshire), where a son Charles was born in
early 1894. It is not clear when G.H. Eustace first started working as a photographer, but a second son (Roger) was born at Derby in 1897, and it was at around that time that the photo below was taken, at "The Park Studio", Osmaston, near Derby. By April 1901, however, they had moved to 306 Cleethorpe Road, Grimsby, where George set up another studio. Trade directory entries demonstrate that he worked from these premises until at least 1919, with a second studio operating at 39 Freeman Street, Grimsby, by 1919. Derbyshire trade directories for 1895 and 1899 do not include listings for G.H. Eustace's premises at Osmaston, so it seems likely that the studio was fairly short-lived. |
