I have several formal portrait photographs of family members taken at the
studio of H. Hobbiss, 18, The Watton, Brecon. I judge them to have been
taken in the final years of the 1880s (1887 - 1890 +/-). I couldn't find
Hobbiss in Brecon or Wales in the 1881 census so the studio presumably post
dates that event. You might look at the later censuses or search for
directories to bracket the dates of the studio operations.

We would like to get an approximate date for a photo that we have.
Stamped on the back it has:- H Hobbiss,Photographer, 18 The Watton, Brecon.
The photo is of Ioanna (Joanna) Jones who was married to David Jenkins. Does
anyone know what years he had his business at this address?
Regards,
Bronwyn and Graeme Gilmour,
