This is some very good information, Thanks Ellie7, Dave I would also like to extend my thanks. I have been researching for over 1 year and have a considerable amount of information on Horace Duesbury. I'm still gathering information on his life in Australia, need details on who trained his father Samuel in photography, also did Horace join the Masonic order in 1872?
Was Samuel a Mason?
What Masonic order was in Brisbane in 1872?
Who influenced Horace to migrate to San Francisco in 1876?
All these questions are still being researched, I'll try to reach out to family members for any photos or details that are not chronicled in the papers, like ledgers or family stories that have been handed down through the generations.
Thanks
