*Uncertain when Thomas Forrest began referring to his studio as Thomas Forrest & Sons.
The first reference I found to the new name was in 1895. As seen in the portraits below, the name "Cambrian Studio" was also retained. However, his son Albert was listed as a photographer in the studio at least as early as 1891 and was already a photo assistant at age 13 in 1881.
