  Example of a Groundsell's photo and back showing Bembridge studio, estimated to be c1880. (Another researcher informed of a Groundsell photo having a Shanklin studio address, but a copy was not provided) My thanks to Peter Chick for the above photo.

| Family History | It possible that photographer W D Groundsell was the William Drake Groundsell (c1827-1917) from Wootton found living at Pencil Cottage Shanklin in 1881, but in that and other census returns he is described as a house decorator. Further evidence is required to prove that they are the same person. | |
