John Foster Foster (1852-1934) married Emily Gertrude (b.1865) on 27 Nov 1889 at Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset. They must have left for Australia soon after as the photograph album (held by the family) is inscribed Melbourne 5 August 1890.

They had landed in Adelaide and moved around Australia before settling in Bermagui where John ran the general store. He took these photographs. One of the photographs shows Emily Gertrude Foster outside a tent on the Cooks River, another shows the general store at Bermagui. Their son John died in Oct 1978.
