Hughes/Bayliss

knowlegable brummie
Great grandfather William Hughes born Winson Green Brum 1839, eventually became a professional photographer and had premises in Sandpits, Parade, Garbett Street, and King Edwards Road, all Ladywood I think. He married Ellen Leahy from ~Cork and had children, Elizabeth, William, Lily, Kate, Michael Philip, and Francis.

He had a business up until 1909. He was also known as BAYLISS.

His business W H Hughes and W H BAYLISS

Does any of this info ring a bell. I'd love to find some old photos with perhaps his name above a shop, but having looked at several sites have never found any trace. I've never found his death either. Ellen died at an address in Livery St, in 1928.
