I have been asked for information on the following by a member:

I have acquired a Victorian / Edwardian carte-de-viste photograph of my 2 great grandmother Mary Ann Randon taken at McLucas & Co Soho Hill Birmingham. The address on the bottom of the photograph is McLucas & Co192 Soho Hill Birmingham and LLanelly. Does anyone know anything about when this studio was established or have any photographs. I have googled McLucas & Co portrait Photographers and there is no history. However there is a McLucas & Co photographers at 131 Soho Hill and I'm wondering if they are trading under the name or are of the original business. If any one has any information or could help I would appreciate it.
