The Marchant Family of Photographers

Philip Marchant was the first of five Marchant photographers in three generations who practised studio photography for an unbroken period of 110 years. Philip’s two sons Samuel and Ebenezer Marchant took up photography, followed by Ebenezer’s son Trevor. Although not studio photographers, Trevor Marchant’s two daughters added another generation to the family tradition of photography, Coralie as a talented colourist and Janine as a photo laboratory technician.

In 1875 Philip’s brother Edwin learnt photography in his brother Philip’s studio and Edwin's son George also became a photographer.
