Here is Robert French the photographer in the 1911 census, in Ashfield Avenue, Ranelagh, with daughters Mary and Annie, and grandson Griffith.

Wow, Ticking the "Show all information" box, I see Children Born: 11, Children Living 8

Niall McAuley Somehow "Landscape Photographer" doesn't do what he did justice! Do you think Mrs French was dead or away from home on census night?

A little about him here - z9.invisionfree.com/royaldublinfusiliers/index.php?showto... - Signed on with the Royal Dublin Fusiliers in 1883; and subsequently for the 11th Reserve of the RDF in 1915; Regimental No. 1331

In 1911, French is 69 and a widower. I can't immediately find him, Annie or Mary in the 1901 census.

This is great! The bridge looks so close to this today, makes me miss living in Sydney.

Except the trains have been shunted off the side because of how many cars there are.

I love exploring our history, I recently assisted my daughter with a project on the building of the Sydney Harb Bridge and whilst I didn't have access at the time to this site I had the pleasure of locating various photo's which I saved and reprinted via a USB and a Store, my daughter intends keeping her "A" mark for this assignment, the pics make it so realistic as though you were there taking pics

Its interesting that there appears to be train lines on both sides of the bridge where these days the line is only one side.

Great stuff State Library. There were trains on that side (as they still are today) and I think trams ran on the opposite side where cars now drive.

Nostalgi :-)

We may be able to pinpoint the date further. The yellow sportscar in the middle of the photo seems to be a Mercedes Benz 190SL (W121 series), produced from 1955-1963.

Martin van Duijn A good looking car indeed..! More on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_190SL

Swedish National Heritage Board - Riksantikvarieämbetet One of Mercedes' finest looking cars ever.
