Portrait of a Gentleman by Willey of Louth Lincolnshire

Photographer was Joseph William Willey Born in Louth Lincolnshire around 1829 and died in 1893

 

Confusingly he is sometimes shown as Joseph or William on the census records but always living at 7 Aswell Lane. To add to the confusion there is also another Joseph Willey from Louth who is a photographer living at 120 Upgate Louth perhaps a relation.

 

In 1861 he is living at 7 Aswell lane with his parents and siblings including a William Willey who is shown as a tailor whilst Joseph is shown as a photographer

 

In 1881 he is shown as living at 7 Aswell lane as a photographer but living alone aged 60

 

Joseph Willey is listed in Kellys Directory in 1876 and 1882 as a photographer living at 7 Aswell Lane
