Thomas Ellerby painted portraits of my great great grandparents, Thomas Barnabas Daft (well-known inventor in England) and his wife Emma Matilda Daft, at their home, Leseyre Lodge, Lesayre Road, Isle of Man. I am not sure of the date but they lived there for several years around the mid 1800s. Sadly the portraits burned a few years ago but I have Emma's partially burned painting, a phot of which I will send along. I have a letter from their son, Leo Daft, the famous English inventor in the US (first commercial electric trolley car, first man to electrify machinery in New York city while Edison was providing light.) telling my father about the portraits and will send this too.
I am not sure how useful this will be but it does give a bit of information about the painter.
