Frederick William Seville
I am a Great Great Grandson of FWS. A google revealed that he was the son of W Seville silhouettist, and that he also cut and embellished.
Born in the early 1800 he lived until he was over 90.
We have not compiled a family tree, and my mother referred to him as Grandfather but I think it more likely he was her Great Grandfather. We know him as a noted watercolourist, there is a connection to Charles Darwin the naturalist, and you can find a collection of his works inline this is part of the Shrewsbury Museum. I have a number of interesting items, a portable board cut from a single piece of wood hollowed out to take paintings and drawings, sketch book date 1840 depicting landscapes in Ireland, and a photograph. He had a son also W F Seville who set up an early photographic studio in Alsager Cheshire.
