By 1891, Bernard was recorded as a photographer and his daughter as a retoucher. His son Jacques Jacobs (see that name) lived here until 7.5.1895 and was also recorded as a photographer at the occasion of his wedding in October 1894. Furthermore, Octave De Geyter (see that name) was recorded as a photographer’s apprentice here from 1892 to 1894. De Geyter was a son of Bernard's first wife's sister.
