Henry appeared in the census in 1891 in 74 Goldstone Rd., Hove, Sussex East, England. He died in 1952 at the age of 98 in Brighton, Sussex East, England. Birth GRO 2nd qtr 1854 STEEL, Henry Cuckfield 2b 138 ===== When the census was taken on 3rd April 1881, Henry Steel and his family were recorded at 102 Goldstone Road, Hove. On the census return, Henry Steel, who gives his place of birth as Clayton, Sussex, is described as a twenty-seven year old "Watchman". At this time, Henry and Mary Steel had three young children - Henry, aged 5, John, aged 2, and a baby daughter named Janet Elizabeth Steel. In the early months of 1884, Henry Steel's youngest son, John, and his youngest daughter, Janet Elizabeth, both died. Now with only one surviving child (Henry junior), Mrs Mary Steel gave birth to another daughter during the 1st Quarter of 1887. Henry and Mary Steel christened their new daughter, Janet, the same name that was given to their two previous daughters who had died young. In the 1880s, Henry Steel supplemented his income as a "Watchman" by taking in lodgers. [When the 1881 census was taken, the Steel household in Goldstone Road contained 4 paying boarders]. By 1890, Henry Steel and his family were living at No. 74 Goldstone Road, Hove. The census taken on 5th April 1891, records Henry Steel, his wife Mary, their teenage son, Henry Steel junior, and four year old daughter Janet Steel at 74 Goldstone Road, Hove. On the census return, Henry Steel is described as a "General Labourer", aged 37. Sometime in the early 1890s, Henry Steel set himself up as a photographer in Hove. Local trade directories indicate that Henry Steel established a photographic portrait studio at 74 Goldstone Road, Hove around 1894. The Trades Section of Page's Directory of Brighton & Hove, published in 1895, lists Henry Steel as a photographic artist at 74 Goldstone Road, Hove. The 1895 edition of H. & J. Barnes' Popular Directory of Brighton & Hove also lists Henry Steel as a professional photographer at 74 Goldstone Road, Hove. Many of Henry Steel's early carte-de-visite portraits are mounted on old photographic card stock belonging to Robert Cox, a photographer of Clifton, Bristol. when he first started his career as a photographer. Robert Cox had closed his studio at 37 White Ladies Road, Clifton, Bristol, in 1891 and apparently Henry Steel had acquired Cox's unused stock of cdv cards shortly afterwards. Henry Steel's early cdv portraits are mounted on the backs of Cox's cards. On the reverse of the cdv portraits, Steel's trade mark - H. Steel, Photographer, 74 Goldstone Road, West Brighton *- is rubber-stamped above Robert Cox's details. By 1896, Henry Steel was producing his carte-de-visite portraits on cards professionally printed with the photographer's credit "Hy Steel, 74 Goldstone Road, Hove". [* In 1895, Henry Steel gave his studio address as "74 Goldstone Road, West Brighton". Central Hove was commonly referred to as "West Brighton" during the early 1890s. The area of Central Hove in which Goldstone Road was situated had been known as Cliftonville up until around 1879. Cliftonville Railway Station officially changed its name to West Brighton in 1879. By the early 1890s, Goldstone Road was listed under Hove in street directories, but was often still referred to as "West Brighton". In October 1895, West Brighton Railway Station was officially re-named Hove & West Brighton and in the following year (July 1895), the name West Brighton was dropped altogether and the railway station became "Hove Railway Station". From this date, Henry Steel printed 74 Goldstone Road, Hove, on his photographic card mounts]. From the mid 1890s, Henry Steel produced both carte-de-visite and cabinet portraits at his studio at 74 Goldstone Road, Hove. The 1901 census records Henry Steel, his wife Mary and 14 year old daughter, Janet, living at 74 Goldstone Road, Hove. On the census return, 46 year old Henry Steel is described as a "Photographer" working on his "own account, at home". Around 1905, Henry Steel opened a second studio at 11 Hove Street, Hove (later re-numbered No.9a). Henry Steel managed his studios in Goldstone Road and Hove Street in parallel until about 1913. After he closed his Hove Street studio, Henry Steel continued to take photographic portraits in the studio attached to his home at 74 Goldstone Road, Hove. Local trade directories recorded Henry Steel as a photographer in Goldstone Road until the mid 1920s. It appears that Henry Steel retired from photography around 1925 when he was in his early seventies. Henry Steel's Family Henry Steel's son Henry Steel junior, a bricklayer by trade, married Ella Annie Kean (born 1877, Cannington, Somerset) in 1904.

James Steel, was born on the Greek island of Corfu in 1826 (probably when his father was stationed there as a soldier). James Steel married his second wife Maria Chatfield (born c1821, Hurstpierpoint, Sussex) in 1852. [James Steel's first wife had died from Typhus Fever in 1851]. James Steel worked as an agricultural labourer in the Sussex districts of Keymer and Hurstpierpoint during the 1850s and 1860s. During this time his wife Maria gave birth to a number of children - Henry (born 1854), Ann (born 1856), Mary (born 1857, George (born 1861) and James Steel junior (born 1866). In the late 1870s, James Steel senior and his family moved to Hove, where James found work as a "coal porter". James Steel senior died in Hove in 1900, aged 73. During their marriage Maria Chatfield and James Steel produced at least 5 children - Henry Steel (baptised in the Sussex village of Keymer on 4th June, 1854), Ann Steel (born 1856, Keymer), Mary Steel (born 1857, Hurstpierpoint, Sussex), George Steel (born 1861, Hurstpierpoint) and James Steel (born 1866, Burgess Hill). When the 1861 census was taken, James Steel, described on the census return as a 35 year old "Labourer", was living in Hurstpierpoint with his wife Maria and three of their children - Henry (7), Ann (5) and Mary (3) - plus fifteen year old William Chatfield (born c1845, Cuckfield), described on the census return as James Steel's stepson. Presumably, William Chatfield was the illegitimate son of Maria Chatfield. [At the time of the 1851 census, five year old William Chatfield was living in Cuckfield with his grandparents, William and Martha Chatfield]. When the 1871 census was taken, James Steel and his family were living at St John's Common, Keymer, but his eldest son, Henry Steel (born 1854, Keymer) was residing in Hove, Sussex.
