    I'll leave you to look for the Irish directories.
    Great info ~ thank you so much.

    Re. the "Queen's Art Photo Co", cannot make out address, looks like "22 something, Belfast"?

    The earliest I can see this Company is 8 Mar 1884, address (Queen's Buildings) Royal Avenue and the latest for this location is 24 July 1891
    By Oct 1898 an auction is being held to sell off the studio fittings and furnishings (from 2 valuable cameras to 50 yards of lino) of the Company, now at Bridge St. Looks to have folded by that date.
