J Bishop of Royston Area

 

Places

 

 

There appear to have been three John Bishop, photographer, associated with the villages associated with Royston, which were in Cambridgeshire but are now in Hertfordshire.

     

I have not investigated the John Bishop who took the above carte de visite at a time when the villages were in Cambridgeshire.


The following relate to father and son who only arrived in the area in about 1910.
