Question
On my maternal great-grandmother's marriage certificate of 1887 she states her father to be Henry Jacobs, Profession: Artist. No mention whether still alive. I have searched but not found him mentioned or listed on any sites. Have you knowledge of him? In 1871 on the census he was a photographer living at Clerkenwell, London.
Regards, Georgie
