Looking where i can find where photographers were working early 1900s

Have a
W McCrae ( McRae - possibly )
14+ 15 Berkeley Rd
113 St Stephens Green West
Dublin

wondering what dates he was there from as I want to try and date a photo that came out of a family house recently after a death and as per usual no info as to who the sitters were although there is a family likeness ....... *sigh*

Fancooo :)

Is there any website that I could find out about when he conducted his business? I've got a photo he took and need to work out who the people are, I think it may be one of my GGM's sisters possibly the one who went to America although I have no idea which one did or if they both did at the mo :d

Blinking Irish research and blinking American census for only letting people put they were Irish rather than the town/county they came from :rolleyes:

Not sure if these sites will help.

It is an index of UK studio and portrait photographers from c1840 - 1950

This one lists photographers of Great Britain & Ireland 1840 - 1940
